Olympus E-620 Pro Reviews

expertreviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Disappointing low-light performance and the small viewfinder count against it, but the E-620's articulated screen, capable live view and multitude of unusual features and controls leave it with an average overall rating.

Ultimately, the E-620 is a good value and one we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. As always, you’ll want to think about your personal requirements and compare the features and quality of rivals. The E-620 is a great camera, but its rivals give the camera some stiff competition. If in-body image stabilization is one of your must-have features, and you want a body that’s compact, the E-620 is definitely an excellent DSLR to consider.

Between the excellent Live View mode, pop-out LCD screen and the art modes, the Olympus E-620 is a lot of fun to use. We recommend it if you want a compact digital SLR that’s not hard to use and which doesn’t compromise on advanced features. It will also produce vibrant, clear and well-defined shots.

I've used this camera for some time and all the time I was impressed with it. Olympus have always suffered from noise and while I can't give performance top marks for that reason, they score higher due to the advancements they've made in the area recently.

The highly desirable new DSLR from Olympus is a compact marvel, and suitable for all skill levels. No other camera offers such advanced Live View functionality along with a flip-out screen, inbuilt image stabilisation and sensor-cleaning in such a tiny form. But the E-620 is noticeably noisier than most current APS-C and full-frame DSLRs and AF is not quick enough.

The Olympus E-620 DSLR is, without a doubt, an interesting product, albeit clearly designed for the entry-level market. Sure, it's got quite a few bugs in multiple departments, but if you're only moving up from compact cameras and you're looking for something that's both more (or less) user-friendly, portable and fairly affordable, then you might want to give the E-620 a go.

Although according to Olympus the E-520 is staying in the range, in many ways the E-620 can be seen as the natural replacement. Inevitably some features have filtered down from the E-30, which is a good thing but that camera is significantly larger and heavier and a good deal more expensive.

Art is an enjoyable add-on but it definitely slows the camera down as it processes the images.

The E-620 is a little like the Tardis; on the outside you see a relatively small, entry level DSLR, while on the inside, you find the specification and features of much bigger enthusiast or semi-pro model. Picture quality is great too and it’s nice to see noise control so very accomplished.

Olympus continues to offer high-quality features and abilities in their E-series models. While the E-620 is what we consider an advanced amateur model, it sports an entry-level price tag of about US$699 or less for the body/14-14mm Zuiko lens outfit. With excellent image quality both indoors and out, pleasing High ISO capabilities, and loads of easy to use features, we have no problem giving the Olympus E-620 dSLR a high recommendation.

There are cameras offering just a little extra. Something that makes you shoot in a different way, perhaps more consciously. And the Olympus E-620 is such a camera. Granted, the camera is not perfect in all its facets, but it does provide a stunningly wide array of options and clever functionalities.

The Olympus E-620 offers the most effective combination of features, ease-of-use and price of any Olympus DSLR camera to date, and it's also a real contender for the Best Mid-Range DSLR crown.

Olympus has done a great job with the E-620, delivering a feature-packed DSLR that’s great fun to use, yet has enough sophistication to keep demanding enthusiasts happy.

When we reviewed the E-30, we liked just about everything about the camera - except the price. When the E-620 came along, it seemed like exactly the answer we - and, we're betting, a lot of other shooters - are looking for: the E-30's creative advantages for casual shooters and those who don't relish the thought of hours of post-processing, in a camera that's more in line with what your typical student or advanced family photographer is willing to shell out.

DP Review‘s review Edit Like Unlike

E-620 crams most of the E-30's feature set into a much smaller, much less expensive package that competes more convincingly with its peers than any Four Thirds camera we've yet seen.

Recently voted the #1 2009 Entry-Level DSLR by TIPA (Technical Image Press Association), the Olympus E-620 bears a lot of weight on its shoulders. It belongs to the Four Thirds revolution, initially created by Olympus and Kodak, so we knew we were dealing with a smaller sensor from the beginning.

While it's a solid budget dSLR with good photo quality and a host of advanced features, the Olympus E-620 still falls behind the competition on most counts.
