Olympus E-620 (body)

By (cnet.com)

High-quality photos ; solid performance ; articulated LCD ; some nice features, including savable custom settings, in-body image stabilization, Art Filters, and a wireless flash controller

No video capture ; more complex to operate than is necessary

While it's a solid budget dSLR with good photo quality and a host of advanced features, the Olympus E-620 still falls behind the competition on most counts.

Because Olympus (along with co-developer Fujifilm) is wedded to its slow...

Olympus E-620 Review

By Cybernium (neocamera.com)

The Olympus E-620 is not just a very good DSLR, it is an excellent value with an outstanding and complete feature set. Image noise is a good as we have seen from Four-Thirds cameras and very close to recent rivals using APS size sensors. This can be ...

Quite low image noise for Four-Thirds system, Good dynamic range, Reliable auto focus, Fast and responsive, Effective stabilization

Poor auto-white-balance in artificial light, Very small viewfinder, Complicated menu system,, LCD too reflective, Short battery life

OLYMPUS E-620 Black 12.3 MP 2.7" 230K LCD Digital SLR Camera w/ ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 and 40-150mm f/4-5.6 Lense

By Mengan (newegg.com)

Paid $699 for a two lense kit including free shipping from New Egg, a great deal! The battery died surprisingly fast, maybe because I used the live view from time to time. Will need to buy another battery as a backup

Live view LCD, ease of use, good picture quality and well designed body

Unstable in low light situation. Low battery life

Olympus E-620

By AaronBradford (dpreview.com)

I honestly don't see how it's construction rating is so high, the ergonomics of this camera is terrible. I can hold my E-510, 300mm lens attached, with one finger down by my side; I struggle to hold the E-620, with an 18mm lens, with four fingers. The gen...

Awful ergonomics
