Olympus E-620 DSLR Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 4.00 (out of 10)
Review (Summary): "The Olympus E-620 is a Four Thirds digital SLR that combines the feature set of the new E-30 with the compact design of the E-420. This camera is positioned between Olympus' E-520 and E-30, and prices start at $599 for the body-only configuration. ...

... Photo quality was very good, though the E-620 has a few issues worth noting. Those issues are the tendency to slightly underexpose (by about 1/3-stop), and it seems to clip highlights a little more than one would expect on a D-SLR. Colors were pleasing, and photos have the smooth look that you come to expect from a D-SLR. ..."

Review (Summary): "The E-620 is, overall, smaller than the E-520 that sits below it in the E-system hierarchy, while offering a slightly larger viewfinder plus a selection of the features we first saw in the considerably more expensive E-30. ...

... While the E-620's operation may seem surprisingly sophisticated for an entry-level model, its ability to deliver great images, straight out of the camera hits the spot precisely. From a technical perspective, the image quality is on a par with its peers in just about every respect, at least up as far as ISO 800..."

Review (Summary): "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. It’s nearly as light and compact as the tiny E-450, but additionally offers an image stabilization system that’s built into the camera body, which means that any lens that you attach automatically benefits from up to 4 EV steps of stabilization. ...

... If you don't want to use your DSLR to record movies and you don't do very much handheld low-light shooting, then it's very easy to recommend the Olympus E-620, so much so that we've given it our highest possible Essential! award. ..."
