Hands-On Review: Olympus E-620 Digital SLR
One of the most full-featured cameras in its price category, the Olympus E-620 is also surprisingly fast and equipped with a built-in Image Stabilizer.

Olympus E-620 Review / Test Report
Over the recent years it was sometimes difficult to understand Olympus' DSLR marketing strategy but recently they got their act together with a pretty straightforward lineup starting with the budget-class E-420 & E-520, the "prosumer" E-30 up to the professional grade E-3.
Pros:
- compact and light-weight
- efficient in-body image stabilizer
- good phase-detection AF
- immense feature set
Cons:
- mediocre RAW potential due to strong AA filter
- questionable positioning of the control dial
- slow contrast detection AF

This is hardly the first time that we're meeting Huawei products for the pages of our website, but these were mostly manufactured by other companies and merely signed by Huawei. After the Ideos 7 Slim... We first saw the famed iPad back in 2010, when it debuted at Apple retail stores.

Olympus E-620 Review
When we reviewed the E-30, we liked just about everything about the camera – except the price. When the E-620 came along, it seemed like exactly the answer we – and, we're betting, a lot of other shooters – are looking for: the E-30's creative advantages for casual shooters and those who don't...
Pros:
- E-30 technology for less
- Very nice kit lens
- Useful Art Filters mode
Cons:
- Hit or miss AF
- Quirky live view
- Noisier than competition

Olympus E-620
We found the most thorough, objective reviews of the Olympus E-620 at PopPhoto.com and its U.K. equivalent, Amateur Photographer. ConsumerReports.org provides less detail, but ranks the Olympus E-620 in comparison with 23 other digital SLR cameras. The single-product review at CNET is more critical.
Pros:
- Articulating LCD with live view
- Image-stabilization built into body
- Small and light
- Wireless flash controller
Cons:
- Slow
- jumpy autofocus
- No video
- Small viewfinder and small 2.7-inch LCD
- Image noise gets mixed reviews

Advanced entry-level 12.3-megapixel dSLR with swivel LCD and a wealth of fun features

- 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

Olympus has released information on a new DSLR in the "Four Thirds" format line, the Olympus E-620. In terms of features, the E-620 probably comes between the consumer oriented Olympus E-520 and the recently announced more semi-pro Olympus E-30.
