The Olympus E-520 is here!

Olympus announced the new E-520 DSLR. It looks like nothing more than an E-420 with image stabilization and a bigger battery. So the question is, why wasn’t this announced simultaneously with the E-420? Why do we need an E-420 at all when the E-520 is the same camera except for the two differences noted above? See my previous post about Olympus’ clueless marketing.

I don't see why anyone would buy an E-420 when you can get an E-520 with image stabilization (as well as a bigger battery) for a mere $100 more.
