I had a chance to test an €-620 from my colleague. I was using my lenses 12-60/50-200/50.

The image quality produced throught the whole band from ISO 100 to ISO1600 is excellent. Noise is well controlled. ISO 3200 is not that good. Depeding on the situation and the goal of the picture you are taking, ISO 3200 might be good enought or not.

Handling with the 12-60 is very good. The 50-200SWD is really at limit. The missing full grip of the E520 makes it difficult to hold steady. But in general the tiny grip is good.

Overall, this is the cam i like

- Inbuilt IS
- Features of an E-30
- Size and Weight of a compact cam
- Image Quality of an E-30
- Available Battery Grip
- Dive Case

This would have been the perfect replacement for my €-520, if i would not have an €-30 now ;-)

From me -> Highly recommended

Problems:

- In-Built flash casts shadow on image from the lenses
- Battery life (100 Fotos LV, 85 Fotos int. Flash, 320 Fotos OVF) is far from what Nikon reaches.
