[REVIEW-OLYMPUS E-620 DSLR]
This 12 megapixel DSLR is the latest iteration of the Olympus Four Thirds system. It has the effective supersonic sensor dust removal system and image stabilisation by sensor shift that we now expect from Olympus. A four stop advantage is claimed for image stabilisation.
Pros:
- Olympus kit lenses are a cut above the rest, and the lens supplied with this camera is no exception
- Mechanically and optically the Olympus lenses are outstanding
- Resolution and contrast are good
- And beyond the kit lenses are the Olympus professional quality lenses which are expensive but superb
Cons:
- Auto white balance is not great
- The viewfinder is a little cramped compared with the conventional competition
- This is a product of the smaller sensor

Olympus E-620 review by RadiantLite
Olympus E-620 is an interesting camera, it focuses on compact size which is the right thing to do to get advantage of four third sensor. Built quality is better than most beginner DSLRs.
Pros:
- compact size
- features packed
- swivel lcd screen
Cons:
- noisy image at 800 or above
- small viewfinder

Hands-On Review: Olympus E-620 Digital SLR
One of the most full-featured cameras in its price category, the Olympus E-620 is also surprisingly fast and equipped with a built-in Image Stabilizer.

Olympus E-620 Review / Test Report
Over the recent years it was sometimes difficult to understand Olympus' DSLR marketing strategy but recently they got their act together with a pretty straightforward lineup starting with the budget-class E-420 & E-520, the "prosumer" E-30 up to the professional grade E-3.
Pros:
- compact and light-weight
- efficient in-body image stabilizer
- good phase-detection AF
- immense feature set
Cons:
- mediocre RAW potential due to strong AA filter
- questionable positioning of the control dial
- slow contrast detection AF

Olympus E-620
Whether you consider it trying to find a niche market or truly exploring what's possible in the world of digital photography, Olympus is not relenting in its quest to make ground-breaking digital SLR cameras.

This is hardly the first time that we're meeting Huawei products for the pages of our website, but these were mostly manufactured by other companies and merely signed by Huawei. After the Ideos 7 Slim... We first saw the famed iPad back in 2010, when it debuted at Apple retail stores.

Olympus E-620 Review
When we reviewed the E-30, we liked just about everything about the camera – except the price. When the E-620 came along, it seemed like exactly the answer we – and, we're betting, a lot of other shooters – are looking for: the E-30's creative advantages for casual shooters and those who don't...
Pros:
- E-30 technology for less
- Very nice kit lens
- Useful Art Filters mode
Cons:
- Hit or miss AF
- Quirky live view
- Noisier than competition

Pros:
- Articulating LCD with live view
- Image-stabilization built into body
- Small and light
- Wireless flash controller
Cons:
- Slow
- jumpy autofocus
- No video
- Small viewfinder and small 2.7-inch LCD
- Image noise gets mixed reviews
