Olympus E-600

 

Every so often camera makers decide to strip a few features out of a popular model, lower the price—and like throwing pasta on the wall—hope it sticks—or in this case sells. Enter the Olympus E-600, a modified version of the popular E-620. Both are...

Great Value ; Retains key features from the E-620

Less features than the E-620

At a list price of $749 for the camera body and two lenses, the Olympus E-600 may contain more bang for your buck than the more fully featured E-620.

Review: Olympus E-600 SLR camera

 

The 12.3-megapixel E-600 from Olympus is aimed at photographers wanting a light and portable digital SLR camera. It comes in a kit with a 14mm to 42mm lens and a 40mm to 150mm lens.

Looking and handling like a traditional SLR, in about 1.5 seconds you’re ready to start shooting, with the rear LCD (which flips out and rotates through 270 degrees) providing an overview of currently selected shooting settings. Our only grumble about...

Excellent quality and price

 

I've purchased E-600 on Adorama, through Amazon. Though it's refurbished, it really looks like new (and acts like new!). The only difference I've noticed is different package which has "reconditioned" tag. Overall, camera is very brisk, responsive,...

Olympus-E600 is a stripped down version for the E600

 

This is a great camera for someone starting DSLR photography. Its the 4/3 format and hence expect noise in low light conditions. But some of the colors this thing can produce is insane. Also the kit lenses with this rig is by far the best kit lenses I...

olympus 600 w/2 lens kit

 

I bought this because I have been an Olympus camera fan for over 20 years. I began with a 35mm film SLR - It was the best camera I have ever used, until now. This camera (E600) has a lot of features, which are pretty standard for a DSLR in this price...
