The Olympus e-620 is my third Olympus DSLR. Improvements have been made all the way with each new generation. The camera itself is small in size compared to the most common DSLR's. The clarity and ease of use are the benefits of the e-620. From a wide range of ISO settings multi frame exposure and continuous frame shooting. While this camera may overwhelm a new DSLR user they will soon find out how easy it is to use and the picture clarity will impress many.
Pros: The last of the reasonable price 4/3 dSLR from Olympus. Has all the features of an Olympus E30 for less and smaller. I would get this before getting an E-5. Cons: Nothing much to complaint about.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Fantastic value for the money in my opinion. Good feature mix, only gripe with Oly DSLR is the funky flash strobe feature that's a focus assist in low light. Keep an FL36 or equiv on my bodies most of the time, the IR focusing of the flash is quick and sharp (camera uses flash to focus even if you have flash deselected). It's a great body, bearing in mind it's the lenses that produce the images by and large.
I bought this Olympus E-620 to replace my E-510. Although there are some new features, and a 12 mp vs a 10 mp, I'm not sure there's that much of a kick-up. It appears to me the E-510 has a little better build quality. The movable LCD on the E-620 is fine for those who use an LCD to provide framing and focus but I prefer the viewfinder, such as on my D90. Olympus has been a little pricey and the lens prices are way above the general Nikon/Canon array. Olympus does have quality glass and that's been true for a long time.
Very nice well made sturdy unit,go to a store and handle like cameras from the other big guys you will see-they fell cheaper and more plasticity,and they cost much more!! Kit lenes are good will get you started-but you will want the better lenses soon. Now its not a beginners camera,probably should have some SLR experience I come from point and shoot and much to learn about the E620 Buttons and settings galore-takes time to master.(still working on that). Maybe you could buy a better camera but not in this price range..so I guess you can call me satisfied Oh by the way it takes great photos once you learn it a bit. sd7749724
