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 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

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
