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).

- 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...

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 Digicam Review
Olympus has established its name for manufacturing very well specified cameras in the entry levels. Olympus was the first company to offer two cameras in the entry brackets the little E-410 and its image-stabilized big brother, the E-510 which was later upgraded to the 420 and 520 respectively.

Olympus E-620
The Olympus E-620 is the latest addition to Olympus' now extensive range of Four Thirds system digital SLR cameras. Slotting into the range above the E-520 and E-450 models and below the E-30, the E620 borrows features from all three cameras.

Olympus E-620 review
Between the excellent Live View mode, pop-out LCD screen and the art modes, the Olympus E-620 is a lot of fun to use. We recommend it if you want a compact digital SLR that’s not hard to use and which doesn’t compromise on advanced features.

Olympus E-620 Digital SLR Review
Olympus' latest E-620 DSLR targets users who are interested in something better than a budget entry-level DSLRs, that don't want to pay for an upper mid-range or semi-pro body. This new camera is packed with features from the higher-end E-30, but uses a body that's closer in size to the compact...
Pros:
- Compact
- lightweight body
- Built-in image stabilization
- Price / feature balance
- Fully-articulating screen
Cons:
- No movie mode
- Menu & main screens seem dated
- ISO performance not as good as rival DSLRs with bigger sensors
- No HDMI port
