Comments about Olympus Olympus E-620 12.3 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera, 2.7" HyperCrystal LCD Screen with 14mm - 42mm F3.5-5.6 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lens:

The Olympus e620 is a dream camera. Lots of useful features, great build quality, tack sharp Zuiko lenses, and wonderful ergonomics. The 4/3rds format allows a much lighter and more portable kit. Image quality is excellent. Lenses and accessories are very comprehensive from Olympus. I bought a Sigma 18 - 125mm zoom (36mm-250mm equiv.) from Adorama used. Its no longer made but I recommend it.The only real complaint that I have is the camera produces a bit of noise at ISOs over 800. Aside from that, its a bargain. [...] I will shop here again.

Great camera they improved the image sensor. the long exposures have a lot less noise and better detail. the flip screen makes unusual angles much easier.

researched a lot of dslr's. The E620 had the features and toys i wanted at an excellent price.
My only concern is the plastic lens mount....we'll see how that holds up.

I am coming from superzoom cameras - so I wanted an slr that would get me a variety of focal lengths with decent aperture, and wasn't huge.

The only real con is the noise at higher iso. It doesn't look bad when printed, or resampled to smaller size for screen display. Pixel peepers may be disappointed. I'd say up to iso 800 is fine, and if using noiseware/noiseninja, noise just isn't as much of an issue.

This is easy to get around though, since fast zooms are generally cheaper in four thirds than canon/nikon while still being optically excellent. If you're not familiar with olympus Consider the 14-54mm f2.8-4.5, the 40-150mm f3.5-4.5 and 9-18mm f4-5.6 lenses for a range of focal lengths with decent speeds without breaking the bank.

The camera has some nice features like pixel mapping whith can help with bad pixels. 4 shots per second. Sensor based image stabilization will work on any lens - even optically beautiful old manual lenses which can be acquired for a song. Live view can help in several circumstances. When manually focusing at max zoom, it can give a good reading of how well focused the lens is. If shooting from an awkward position, the swivel lcd + liveview combo really helps a ton. Color reproduction is excellent. The menusystem is complicated, and not as easy as some other systems, but it does give quick access to several necessary aspects quickly.

For the battery, as with any camera - carry a spare.

Bracketing is limited to +/- 1 stop which is kinda lame.

I travel a lot and I have used the E-300 for years. Since I developed a nerve problem, I need a camera that helps with stabilization and this camera upgrade fits the bill. I am very pleased with the increased resolution, the dual focusing abilities and the larger, clearer LCD. All of my lens fit this camera body so there was no added expense. The Art Effects are a nice feature too. The light weight construction of the camera is a plus but it also makes it noisey which can be a distraction and not conducive to candid or wildlife shots. I hope that it will prove to be as rugged as the E-300.

This camera is great. Very easy to use, I love the menu set up. I was speeding through the settings in no time. Really like the art filters. For the price this camera has a lot going for it--except--the stobing flash for a flash assist and a bit slow in low light focusing. Still very fast, but not quite there when chasing a 3 yr old--however, that is easily fixed with a faster lens. Very light weight. Check the grip too--I prefer a little more to grab. But all around great--can't beat features for the price.

Another great camera from Olympus.Fit's right in with my other camera's from Olympus.With the E-3 leading the way and my two 510's,my wife and I are ready to go.The 620 has a great pixel count with a super bright LCD.Art filter's are a blast.You can be very creative without the need for a ton of software.I've been using the 620 for my macro shots of bugs.Great color and composition.Fast shutter speed.Something you really need when your chasing bugs around in the mountains of Montana.I'm impressed with it's versatility.As usual, Olympus did not dissapoint.
