Olympus E-600/E-620 [Note: The E-600 is no longer sold by Olympus, but the very similar E-620 model has taken its place. The E-620 has a few additional features, but on the whole the differences are minor.
Pros:
- Tilting LCD allows variety of compositional angles
- Feature-packed yet easy to use
- Kit comes with two lenses
- Live View has its own dedicated button
Cons:
- Lacks a firm
- comfortable handgrip
- Variable white balance performance

Olympus E-600
I've had an E-600 for almost two years now. I understand it is the same e-620 but without three art-filters and without aspect ratio control. Hence I think that my comments will be applicable to the e-620 as well.
Pros:
- I've had an E-600 for almost two years now
- I understand it is the same e-620 but without three art-filters and without aspect ratio control.
Cons:
- It is not good for shooting sports
- I tried to take some pictures of my brother racing his go-kart with the 70-150mm kit lense on a dark afternoon
- In all honesty I found the camera slow and cranking up the ISO above 1250 induces too much noise.

The Olympus E-620 DSLR fits snugly between the E-30 and the recently announced E-450, in the middle of the Olympus 'E' range.

The Four Thirds range has tended to lag a fraction behind the best contemporary APS-C sensor-size DSLRs in terms of absolute performance but make up some of the difference with excellent lenses, feature-packed specifications, and lower sticker prices.

- Good tonal response and dynamic range (at ISO 200 and above
- Good high ISO performance
- Built-in Image Stabilization
- Generally fast and responsive in use
- Twist and swivel screen useful for certain shooting types
- JPEG engine makes the most of the sensor's output
- Useful
Cons:
- Contrast detect AF pretty slow in live view (which is often the case on DSLRs
- Moderate LCD screen resolution (and too reflective in bright light
- Slightly lower absolute resolution than rest of class
- Complicated menu system not that easy to navigate (though it offers a great degree of user

- No video capture
- more complex to operate than is necessary

Cons:
- Focusing not crisp
- colors not as accurate as competition
