Olympus E-620
12.3 megapixels | 2.7" screen | Four Thirds sensor
New model from Olympus offers high end features in an incredibly compact body that addresses many of the shortcomings of the E-520, with a bigger, better viewfinder and a new 7-point autofocus system. Even by Olympus's standards of entry-level generosity, it's not short on toys - including an articulated screen to make full use of its live view system, which itself is one of the better implementations of this feature. It's also got 'Art' modes and the ability to shoot in four different aspect ratios - adapted from the features of the high end E-30. There's also in-body Image Stabilization and a level of configurability that is unparalleled in this class. In fact it's astonishing how much Olympus has crammed into its small dimensions - it's nearer to the size of the E-420 than the E-520 series.

The Olympus E-620 is a compact digital SLR that takes very good quality photos, offers a rotating LCD display, full manual controls, and creative features like Art Filters and multiple exposures, all without breaking the bank. Other nice things on the E-620 include backlit buttons, a dust reduction system, a useful Perfect Shot Preview feature, and dual memory card slots. It's not a perfect camera, though: it tends to underexposed photos a bit (easy to fix), clip highlights (not so easy to fix), and images are a bit noisier than the competition at high sensitivities. It also has very slow autofocus in live view mode (though other options are available), a small optical viewfinder, and (apparently) a small amount of buffer memory. Despite its flaws, the E-620 is a good camera for those who want a capable D-SLR that won't cost an arm and a leg, which is why it earns my recommendation.

The Olympus E-620 is a feature-packed DSLR which offers a step-up from entry-level models. Like many DSLRs these days, it inherits a number of features from a higher-end model, in this case, the E-30, but packages them into a smaller, lighter and more affordable package. By doing so, it also addresses most of the criticisms of the earlier E-520 and E-420.
The E-620 essentially starts with the popular E-520 with its built-in stabilisation, takes the higher resolution sensor, Art Filters...
