I think the E-520 image shows much more white spotlight which also
extends into the background. Note the white drape. Given the two stops
difference in ISO and, despite that, the brighter E-520 image the
spotlighting had to be much more brilliant when the 520 image was shot.
You can send me your 5DII. I'll even pay the shipping! :-)
