 Olympus E 620 Camera 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). The E620 takes many of the things that makes its big brother, the E30, great – including 12 megapixels of resolution, rotating 2.7 inch screen (now with the new Hyper Crystal III coating) with good visibility, good performance, most of its feature set (including Art Filters) and wireless flash setup capabilities – and puts those features into a form factor the size and shape of the relatively compact E520.

As mentioned, the Olympus E620 is quite small for a digital SLR, and the smallest and lightest with built-in image stabilization, so says Olympus. The camera is easy to hold and has fairly good ergonomics; though it suffers from being overloaded with too many buttons and some of them are difficult to press.
