Olympus E-620 review Review
The 12-megapixel E-620 is a solid and inexpensive entry-level digital SLR. Because it offers a host of advanced features and its interface is more complicated than it needs to be, some beginners might be put off.
Pros:
- High-quality photos
- Solid performance
- Articulated LCD
- Some good features
- including saveable custom settings
- in-body image stabilisation and a wireless flash controller
Cons:
- No video capture
- More complex to operate than is necessary

Drawing compact and bridge camera users into the world of DSLR photography can be difficult when DSLRs lack similar automated controls. Then along comes the lightweight and accessible Olympus E-620 – the latest offering in Olympus' FourThirds line-up.

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:
- Easy to use
- 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.
I already had one of these from new, but needed another to avoid constant lens changes on a safari holiday. I've not long been back, so haven't had a chance to download the photo's but I think they are ok. Anything wrong will be operator error.

Olympus E-620 review
Like all Olympus DSLRs, the S-620 uses the Four-Thirds lens system. These cameras have sensors that are a little smaller than the APS-C sensors in other consumer DSLRs.

Some interesting features, but image quality is a little disappointing at this price.

The Olympus E-620 is a Four Thirds digital SLR that combines the feature set of the new E-30 with the compact design of the E-420 . This camera is positioned between Olympus' E-520 and E-30, and prices start at $599 for the body-only configuration.

Olympus E-620: Hands On
With its new 12.3MP E-620, Olympus has packed a lot of extras into a very small DSLR. At $700 (estimated street, body only; $800 with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko lens), it borrows creative shooting controls from its big brother, the E-30 ($1,300, street, body only; $1,400 with the same lens).

Olympus E620 Review
The new Olympus E620 is a very interesting and capable digital SLR – no wonder everyone's talking about it (and that explains the many emails from readers asking me to review it).
Pros:
- Good image quality, Rotating 2.7 inch LCD with good visibility, Compact design with backlit controls (some) and dual memory card slots, Live view paired with rotating screen is useful
- shows a live histogram and manual focus enlargement, Full manual controls
- flash hotshoe, RAW image mode and white...
Cons:
- Slightly higher noise versus competition with bigger sensors, Optical viewfinder is on the small side, Limited RAW buffer in burst mode, Slow autofocus in live view mode, Some buttons are small
- and there's too many of them, No settings to tweak Art Filters
- increased processing times when using...
