Comments about Olympus Olympus E-620 12.3 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with 2.7" HyperCrystal LCD Screen:
My new favorite camera! This is a full-featured DSLR in a package that's just slightly bigger than a Leica rangefinder. It's exactly big enough to hold onto securely and to conveniently use all the buttons, and no bigger.
Image quality is excellent, color is remarkable.
Ergonomics are great, even the on-off switch is clever: if it's in the way, the camera is off.
Highly recommended!

Comments about Olympus Olympus E-620 12.3 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with 2.7" HyperCrystal LCD Screen:
I never considered using my e510 at ISO 1600. I had no qualms using the 620 at 1600. The images are a little softer at default than the 510. I'm still finding the sweet spots on this camera. I also purchased the 50 macro. Great lens, but if you extend it to the macro end, it's a long way to get back to focus. Some sort of limiter or switch would be a great idea. And will someone explain why Olympus continues to use pre-flash as a focus aid?

Comments about Olympus Olympus E-620 12.3 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with 2.7" HyperCrystal LCD Screen:
I bought this camera before Christmas. I love it so much that I put away my Nikon D90 for now. Simply put, the good things about this camera are accurate colors, good resolution and compact light weight body. I like the art filters too, especially grainy film and pinhole filters. The swivel LCD is a big plus. It's very useful for shooting macros.
On the downside, autofocus under low light and high ISO noise are still not as good as D90. If only there is a build-in focus assistant light, not using the flash as a substitute, it would be much easier for low light autofocus.
Overall this is a very good camera. Combined with one or two high grad Olympus lenses, this camera can produce very good images.

Comments about Olympus Olympus E-620 12.3 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with 2.7" HyperCrystal LCD Screen:
An excellent camera that lives up to its reviews, and yet I still returned it! I have an e-420 and there was, indeed, more noise in this sensor, than in my 420. You'd have to be a pixel peeper (I am) to notice and it won't effect your prints in all but the most narrow cases, but for me, the upgrade wasn't quite worth it. I can recommend this camera strongly just the same, but I also hope that newer models with more reasons to upgrade are released soon because I'll continue to miss not having image stabilization.
