Olympus E-620

As much as we like the E-30, we can't help feeling that the E-620 is the one to get for most applications, unless you value the feel of a bigger camera. If you want most of the goodness of the E-30 for a lower price, definitely get the E-620.
Pros:
  • Illuminated buttons
  • Rotating LCD screen
  • Excellent image quality
  • Light and compact
Cons:
  • No video mode
  • Slow write time to xD cards
  • LCD resolution pales in comparison to its competitors

Olympus E-620 review

The most compact and lightweight mid-range DSLR on the market, the Olympus E-620, looks a tad toy-like next to the chunkier likes of the Nikon D5000 and Canon 500D . But make no mistake: this is a serious piece of image-snapping kit, aimed at the semi-experienced market.

The latest PEN camera, the Olympus PEN E-PL3 camera, also called the PEN Lite, is another great addition to the family. Its image quality is very good, its performance level is high, and it carries a reasonable price.

Overall, the Olympus E-620 is quite impressive with features and very competitive for the price. Picture quality trumps the E-620's predecessors, although images still seem plagued by noise at higher ISO levels.
