Advanced entry-level 12.3-megapixel dSLR with swivel LCD and a wealth of fun features
With a suggested price of US$699 for the body alone and US$799 for a system with a 14-42mm lens, the 12.3 megapixel Olympus E-620 costs quite a bit more than the E-420 and E-520, but significantly less than the E-30.
Pros:
- Competent and compact 12.3-megapixel digital SLR smaller than most in its class
- Suitable for underwater use with special PT-E06 housing
- "Live View" via bright
- swiveling 2.7-inch wide viewing angle LCD
- Fully automatic settings for beginners yield very good pictures
- Large number of scene modes...
Cons:
- No movie mode
- Numerous buttons and menus require learning curve

Review: Olympus E-620 DSLR
Camera costs are falling faster than a bowling ball in a black hole. Case in point: The Olympus E-620, an inexpensive digital single-lens reflex camera that won't weigh your shoulder down, is easy to use and takes fine pictures in a wide variety of conditions.
Pros:

- Lithe and compact size for a DSLR
- Spiffy swiveling LCD screen
- Excellent shots in photon-rich environments
- Body-based image stabilization
- Easy to configure in both automatic and manual modes
Cons:
- Poor low-light performance
- Noisy images above ISO 1000
- Doesn't shoot video
- Plastic body and lens construction feels like it could break if squeezed too hard

As expected.
