The Olympus E-620, a 12.3-megapixel SLR priced at $799.99 that includes an articulated LCD that pivots and turns freely, and a set of Art Filters to create dramatic visual effects. However, we found significant problems with the camera's image quality in our lab testing.

Olympus E-620
This much spec, for this price, what more could you ask for at this level? A cracking little camera.

Olympus E-620 review
Olympus E-620 – Introduction The Four Thirds system, which debuted in 2003 with the innovative Olympus E-1, is still unique in being the only SLR system designed specifically for digital rather than film photography. The theoretical advantages of such a system are obvious.

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).

- 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...

Olympus E-620 review
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. All three cameras incorporate the Four Thirds system – which is almost six years old now, and remains unique as the only DSLR system that was designed from the ground up for...

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 E-620
It's got the best of both worlds from the speedy focusing of the E-3 to the portability and ease of use from the E-520. Olympus now make room in the ever expanding stable for the E-620.
Pros:
- Great colours
- Articulated screen
- Fast focusing
- Massively expanded exposure compensation
- Built-in flash is very natural
Cons:
- Build could be better
- Noise still needs some addressing
