## Description

Product Description OLYMPUS 262161 12.3 Megapixel E-620 Camera Kit (Includes ED 14–42mm zoom lens) From the Manufacturer As children, our imaginations run wild and finger-painted artistic creations are proudly displayed on our family refrigerators. But as we grow older, we learn to color inside the lines, and have less and less time for art. We often lose touch with how satisfying it is to create something uniquely our own. Olympus delivers the E-620 digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera to bring back that free-style experimenting and the magical feeling of being inspired by our own art. The easy-to-use Art Filters and Multiple Exposures (built right into the camera) are fun for photographers--whether you’ve been shooting for years or picked up your first digital camera today. Enjoy capturing creative images on the go--without being tethered to a computer and editing software! Now it is possible to easily customize your images so they’re worthy of posting on the gallery wall (or at least the family fridge). The E-620's freedom of expression is matched by its freedom of mobility. First, the camera travels with you to more places, thanks to its compact size and light 18.9-ounce body. Second, as the world’s smallest DSLR with in-body Image Stabilization, the E-620 adjusts when your body moves to remove blur caused by camera shake (with any lens attached). Finally, add Live View shooting with a swivel 2.7-inch HyperCrystal LCD that frees you to cover subjects from a range of angles, and this 12.3-megapixel DSLR seamlessly combines motions with emotions--proof that Olympus lets you capture it all. Make Your Vision Come to Life with Art Filters If you’re hoping to get more out of your camera than simply capturing and documenting a scene, and enjoy enhancing or customizing an image to make it your own, then you will value the camera’s Art Filters. The filters, which are built into the camera, provide incredible individual artistic control over an image, and remove the need to spend time altering images on the computer with editing software. This camera was made for free-style shooting, experimenting and engaging with events and subjects. Enjoy the freedom of Autofocus Live View and dramatic effects to transform your day-to-day shots into compositions that you can be proud of with the following in-camera Art Filters:Pop Art: Enhances colors, making them more saturated and vivid, creating high-impact pictures that express the joyful, lighthearted feeling of the Pop Art style of the 1960s; Soft Focus: Creates an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere that renders subjects in a heavenly light without obscuring details; Pale & Light Color: Encloses the foreground of an image in flat gentle light and pastel colors reminiscent of a flashback scene in a movie; Light Tone: Renders shade and highlight areas softly to lend an elegant air to the subject; Grainy Film: Evokes the feeling of documentary footage shot in monochrome with grainy, high-contrast film; and Pin Hole: Reduces the peripheral brightness of an image as though it were shot through a pin hole, connecting the viewer intimately with the subject at the center of the picture. Art Filters are easily activated with the mode dial on the left side of the camera body. The effects are viewable right on the new camera’s 100 percent accurate swivel 2.7-inch Live View HyperCrystal III LCD when using the E-620 in Live View mode or when reviewing the captured image. Express Your Inner Artist’s Multiple Personalities With the new camera’s Multiple Exposure function you are free to tell a visual story your way, whether in a portrait, a landscape or a combination of both. For instance, capture an image of the spring leaves on a new tree and then overlay an image of your child’s face into the leaves for a stunning image that expresses the newness of the season. The image capture options allow you to shoot one shot, then another, or to capture both shots separately and combine them in the camera later. Or superimpose your own portrait with a starry night sky to create a photo with the impact you desire. Let your imagination lead you to new creative discoveries. Ready, Steady, Go with In-Body Image Stabilization The E-620 travels with you to more places, thanks to its compact size and light 18.9-ounce body. Capture sharp images on the go with the camera’s in-body Image Stabilization, which virtually eliminates blur with any lens attached. Three IS modes handle any situation. The IS-1 mode is for general shooting and adjusts the sensor on both the horizontal and vertical planes to compensate for movement by the photographer so images stay sharp in low light even at slow shutter speeds. To capture the motion of moving subjects, the E-620 offers two specialized modes: IS-2 mode is ideal for capturing a runner or cyclist traveling by in the horizontal mode, preserving the sense of motion while panning; IS-3 mode achieves the same effect when the camera is held vertically. In either mode, the artistic effects of panning enhance the shot and render the subject in sharp detail with blurred background. Moreover, the E-620 is the world’s smallest DSLR with built-in Image Stabilization, so you’ll feel comfortable taking it on the road with you to capture the action. Superior Image Quality The new camera’s high-performance 12.3-megapixel Live MOS image sensor delivers excellent dynamic range, accurate color fidelity, and a state-of-the-art amplifier circuit to reduce noise and capture fine image details in both highlight and shadow areas. Its Live MOS image sensor is complemented by Olympus’ TruePic III+ Image Processor, which produces clear and colorful photos using all the pixel information for each image to provide the best digital images possible. The new image processor is noted for accurate natural color, true-to-life flesh tones, brilliant blue skies, and precise tonal expression; it also lowers image noise in photos shot at higher ISO settings, enabling great results in low-light situations. Swivel Live View LCD: Freedom to Move You The new camera’s 100 percent accurate 270 degree swivel 2.7-inch Live View HyperCrystal III LCD can be rotated freely so photographers can compose at any angle, including overhead and down low, without getting bent out of shape. This enables an E-620 photographer to compose a subject in the Live View LCD and see the results of the various creative features--live as they’re happening. When viewing the LCD in Live View, settings like white balance and exposure can also be selected, and their impact is seen instantly on the display. Real-time monitoring offers amazing versatility and creative control. The LCD displays 230,000 pixels in vivid color and includes HyperCrystal technology, which offers many times the contrast of conventional LCD monitors for easier viewing in both preview and playback. It also provides a wide viewing angle of 176 degrees, which ensures images can be composed from even the most obscure angles. The 2.7-inch LCD makes icons and text on the camera’s menu easy to view. Beyond the camera’s bright viewable LCD, the E-620 is equipped with illuminated buttons on its body that are easily viewable in low light to quickly find the settings you want. Two Fast Autofocus Systems Consumers accustomed to composing and focusing using a point-and-shoot camera’s LCD will appreciate that the E-620 offers the same easy, seamless experience (what you see on its LCD is what you get!). The E-620 delivers two fast autofocus options to quickly focus and capture the image in any situation: Fast Imager Autofocus in Live View:When it comes to measuring camera speed, autofocus is a key factor. If a camera’s AF system does not meet photographers’ demands and lock focus accurately and quickly, it’s possible to miss a shot. AF Live View on the E-620 allows you to compose, focus, and capture the shot quickly and easily without ever taking your eye off the large 2.7-inch full color LCD. Phase Detection AF: When using the optical viewfinder, the technology behind the new 7-point twin cross AF system provides world-class fast and accurate focusing based on the speed of the E-3. Super sensitive Twin and Twin Cross AF target points can measure focus both vertically and horizontally, so regardless of the subject, focusing is super-simple and fast. With a dedicated Phase Detection AF sensor in the camera body, shooting moving subjects, like a runner crossing the finish line, is lightning fast. In low-light situations, this is the AF option of choice to quickly lock focus, so that a loved one’s face illuminated only by candlelight is in sharp focus. Multi-Aspect Shooting Since photography is a form of expression that is essentially based on clipping a scene, framing is an important component of style. The E-620 provides four aspect ratios that serve as masks to frame your image to the desired proportions, including: the standard 4:3 aspect ratio that is perfectly suited for an 8 x 10-inch enlargement; the 16:9 aspect ratio that will display your images beautifully on a widescreen television; and other popular aspect ratios such as 3:2 and 6:6. By enabling you to select the aspect ratio before shooting and easily viewing it on the LCD throughout the shoot, the Multi-Aspect function offers a new way to control your photography and express yourself. Always Find a Face in the Crowd The new camera’s Face Detection reduces the chance of blurred subjects in photography by distinguishing between people’s faces and the background. It tracks up to eight faces within the image area, even if people are moving, and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures (ideal for large family or party group photos). In Sunshine or the Shadows, Never Miss a Detail Shooting scenes with both highlights and shadows can be tricky because of the extreme contrast between dark and bright areas. The E-620 addresses this challenge with Shadow Adjustment Technology that adjusts for extreme light variations and maintains visible detail in both the shadow and highlight areas of the scene. Now users can see and preview the gradation on the Live View LCD and capture images showing the shadow detail they saw. This feature is also accessible in the Edit menu after the shot has been taken. Preview a Multitude of Possibilities Perfect Shot Preview enables users to easily preview and select from a variety of thumbnail previews of the photographic effects of white balance and exposure compensation adjustments live on the LCD before taking the photograph. It is an ideal way for novice users to learn about the effects of different photography techniques, visually, without having to scroll through menu options. With 28 preset scene-select modes for every imaginable shooting scenario, automatic modes and full manual controls, the E-620 offers a world of possibilities to photographers. Wireless Flash Capability Wireless flashes help you cast the best light on your subjects and capture great images. For this reason, the E-620 is compatible with the Olympus FL-36R and FL-50R wireless electronic flashes that are designed exclusively for digital photography. When these flashes are used in combination with the E-620, multiple-wireless flash photography is both easy and reliable. The E-620 can control up to three wireless flash groups independently, with multiple flash units in each group for dramatic flash effects. Dust Reduction System for Spot-Free Images Life moves too fast to spend time worrying about dust ruining the perfect image. Olympus’ proven Dust Reduction System produces spot-free photos with the exclusive Supersonic Wave Filter. The patented ultrasonic technology vibrates to remove dust and other particles from the front of the image sensor and captures it on a special adhesive membrane every time the camera is turned on. These spot-free photos liberate users from hours spent retouching photographs at the computer or sending their cameras back to the manufacturer to remove dust trapped inside. With Dust Reduction and the new creative features, Olympus continues to liberate users from the computer and editing software, and enables them to have fun capturing it all while on the go. Optional Accessories for Shooting on Land and in the Water The new HLD-5 Power Battery Holder (sold separately) can hold up to two Lithium Ion BLS-1 batteries to extend the performance life of the E-620 and its existing BLS-1 battery. It also enables effortless vertical shooting with its own separate shutter button and control dial. Olympus will also offer the PT-E06 optional underwater housing for the E-620. Capable of reaching depths of 130 feet underwater, the housing will ensure that divers will not miss an image during their journeys to the abyss.

Review: Great Entry Level DSLR - I am an amateur photographer, not a professional by any means. But I've been using an old Canon AE1 35mm film camera and/or a point and shoot digital for a quite few years and wanted to upgrade to a DSLR. After doing the research, I went with the Olympus. Everybody has their own preferences, so that plays into the equation. My friends with Canons say that Canon is the only way to go and every other brand sucks. My friends with Nikons say that Nikon is the only way to go and every other brand sucks. I compared this camera with the comparable Canons and Nikons and when it all played out, the Olympus was the camera that best matched my wants/needs. The Pros: One of the main selling points to the Olympus is that it has in body image stabilization, so you don't have to worry about buying lenses with IS vs. without. Pretty much, you can slap any lens on it and get image stabilization. This also cuts down on the weight of the lenses. This is something my Canon friends bitch about. They have lenses that do not have IS, so they get some blurred shots from time to time. Buying the lenses with IS is a lot more expensive. With the Olympus, you don't have to worry about it. For most amateur photographers, this is a big plus. The Zuiko kit lenses are top notch. I've got the 14X42mm, the 40X150mm and the 35mm Macro lenses, and they are all very impressive. The other Zuiko lenses are all great quality and get great reviews, while Canon and Nikon lenses tend to either be damn excellent or nearly crap. Plus, since the E-620 has in body image stabilization, you can simply buy an adaptor and use Canon and Nikon lenses (the ones without image stabilization), or other old prime lenses (though, the autofocus will not work with these 'other' lenses). The live view function is excellent, even though I hardly ever use it. I always use the viewfinder, but in playing with the live view, it rocks for what it is. If you are gonna use the live view function a lot, this camera has a very good one. The rotating/swiveling LCD display makes it easy to use the live view function (or the menus in my case) from odd angles if/when necessary. This is really helpful when taking macros, or using a tripod, or any other time you may need to be at an odd angle or attitude to the camera. Built in dust reduction system. This is a very handy feature to keep the sensor clean without you having to do anything but turn the camera on. The built-in art filters are excellent. The image quality is excellent. You have to play with the camera settings and learn how to get what you want out of it. It will produce stunning pictures, once you get the hang of it. This is true with any higher line DSLR. Right out of the box on "Auto", this camera produces nice images. But take the training wheels off, and this camera quickly gets even better. The controls are well laid out and pretty easy to use, plus they are programmable. So if you want to 'customize' the buttons for certain features that you use often, you can easily do so. The body is smaller, compared to other comparable DSLRs. I also find it to be very comfortable to handle. This is nice because you can carry the E-620 around without too much hassle. It is still a full size unit, but less size and weight are a plus if you are gonna lug the thing around all day. The basic functions are pretty easy to learn/use with a little practice. But as with anything else, RTFM! The price. If you shop around, this camera is a LOT cheaper than the comparable Canon (50D) or Nikon (D5000). You can get the body, 2 kit lenses and a few accessories for what it would cost you to get the comparable Canon/Nikon body and maybe one kit lens. Why pay a lot more $$$ for the Canon/Nikon name, when the odds are, you'll never notice a difference anyway? Sure, the brand snobs will point out all kinds of things that they say make their brand of choice "better", but unless you are a pretty serious photographer, it won't mean a thing to you. And if it does, you are probably gonna buy a much more expensive/sophisticated camera anyway. If you are looking for the most "bang for your buck", this camera delivers. The Cons: Overall, the Canon 50D and the Nikon D5000 will have a slightly better picture quality at high resolution; but the difference is not really noticeable unless you are a professional or otherwise have a lot of experience in the field. Most entry level buyers will never notice the difference anyway. Or, they'll cover the difference in Photoshop/Lightroom, etc. If you ARE sophisticated enough where these minor differences are going to make or break your selection, the odds are that you probably were not going to buy into this price range anyway. The viewfinder is a bit small. This takes a little getting used to and is something Olympus could (and should) improve upon. This is a minor inconvenience, but still, it could (and should) be better. The camera does NOT have video recording capability. For some people, this is a problem. For me, it is not. I already have an HD camcorder that I like, so I didn't want (or need) one in my still camera. Plus, for me, it just seems wrong to be taking videos from this type of camera. But that is just personal preference. If I'd wanted a camcorder/DSLR hybrid, I'd probably have considered the Olympus PEN. But in any event, if you want a camcorder function, the E-620 doesn't have one. The XD memory card. This camera uses both XD cards and CompactFlash cards (one slot for each). I like the CompactFlash cards, but the XD is not ubiquitous. Plus, the panorama function on the camera will only work with an XD card installed. If you are switching from a point and shoot, unless you have a Fuji or Olympus (about the only two cameras that use the XD cards), your existing memory cards (SD, etc.) will not work. And here is a tip: Buying high quality CF cards will speed up the write times. So don't skimp. Selection of lenses/accessories. There are a lot more kit lenses and accessories for Canon and Nikon. Not all of them are necessarily good or useful, but they are out there. So if you want the widest selection of aftermarket goodies, Canon or Nikon is probably gonna win that race. Yes, you can always buy an adaptor to use other manufacturer's lenses, but this is not exactly the same as purpose built accessories because not all of the lens functions will work with an adaptor (autofocus, etc.). The autofocus can be a bit fickle in low light. If you use the built-in flash with the auto-focus in some low light situations, it will still sometimes take the camera a while to dial in the focus. This can be pretty damn frustrating. Using manual mode and manual focus solves this problem. Since I have progressed to using manual mode with manual focus almost exclusively, this is no longer an issue for me. But it is an issue that Olympus should work on improving. I am told that the Canon/Nikon cameras can also have this issue, but that they are less temperamental about it than the Olympus. Battery life. Personally, I think the battery life is fine. However, if you use the live view function, it drains the battery a lot quicker. I seldom use the live view function, so I don't notice much of a problem. However, I bought a spare battery to keep in the bag anyway, so this is moot for me. If you are gonna spend $500-$600 on a nice camera, go ahead and drop the extra $10 for a spare battery, no matter what brand you buy. Brand recognition. People know the names "Canon" and "Nikon" very well. Olympus, not so much. So if you are a 'brand conscious' consumer who needs to go along and fit in with the crowd, then play it safe and buy a Canon or Nikon, and you'll be happy. The Bottom Line: I LOVE this camera. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. It is a pretty sweet rig. The truth is, at this level, you will probably be satisfied with whatever you buy. But for me, for the money, this is the best value for what I wanted in a camera. As with any DSLR, there is a learning curve. You HAVE to put the work into learning how to use the camera. If you are just gonna set it to "Auto" and snap pictures, then you may as well save the money and just buy a nice point and shoot because you are not going to enjoy or appreciate ANY complex DSLR. But if you are willing to put some time and practice into it, this camera will do whatever you want and more. It isn't a perfect camera, but none of them are. Do your research and make your decision based on the features and functions (and budget) that YOU want out of a camera. If the E-620 meets the criteria for what you want/need in a camera, then buy one and you will not be disappointed.
Review: Outstanding DSLR - Fantastic with Legacy Lenses - Having used Olympus equipment since 1978 (OM-2), I was even more impressed with this camera when I discovered how well it worked with legacy lenses. In my case I'm using macro extentions, super wide angle, telephoto zoom - and even a 300mm super telephoto (all Olympus Zuiko lenses used with my OM-2). The ease of use and picture clarity is nothing short of stunning. An OM Lens to OM 4/3 Mount Adapter (in my case I used the inexpensive Fotodiox version) is required, but the results were worth the extra $30 I paid for the adapter - and the 2x zoom factor (i.e. 300mm -> 600mm) due to the 4/3 conversion is an added bonus. Though Manual mode may work best - it was surprising how well Auto mode worked with my 30+ year old lenses - a testament to Olympus equipment. I was even able to use the Quick 310 flash & bounce grip (though limited and mostly in reverse bounce due to the intensity of the flash) to take some striking photographs. Past the legacy issue - this camera is all it's advertised - and more. Long battery life, incredible flash mode array, image stabilization, multiple built in filtering - including B&W color lens filters, monotone colors (blue, purple, sepia & green) - and to top it off 19 art/scn modes that others have talked about that truly are amazing. Yet that is only the beginning. The articulating display - including 180 degree viewing (from the front of the camera) makes this a top contender in the DSLR world. For previous Olympus owners - and before considering other DSLR cameras - put all the other brands in your hand and compare it to the E620. The ergonomics of size, weight and control functionality may very well make your decision for you. NOW FOR THE OLYMPUS MANUFACTURER: I have only one major issue - could you please make a high quality camera bag (not a backpack) with enough room for this camera and its lenses? It is rather embarassing to have to consider buying a Nikon or Cannon bag to carry Olympus equipment!!! ;-)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: sorry to bother you, i am interested in the camera, does the price include the body, the lenses, the strap and the memory card?**
A: well ernesto, since  i am not the seller, i will base my answer on the more common cases, usually, a used camera like this one, comes at least with the strap, the battery and charger, who in this case it is the only specified by the seller, and sometimes, just sometimes with a memory card. i do not think that is for this offer, but, again, it's just my opinion. otherwise, the camera is a great one, you can do almost everything with it! i recommend look for more lenses from olympus.ABOUT THE LENS APPEAR TO COME WITH A 14\42 A MID RANGE ZOOM WHO AS YOU MAY KNOW, IS A VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED LENS EQUAL IN QUALITY TO MORE EXPENSIVE (MUCH EXPENSIVE!) LENSES ON THE MARKET TODAY! GOOD LUCK, ENJOY!

**Q: What is the fastest Compact Flash card that can be used in this camera, and what card is recommended. Thanks**
A: This camera has 2 slots for cards. One is an XD card and the other is one of the larger CF cards. I can not find anything that mentions card speed. When I purchased the current cards the number that is found on the SD cards wasn't on any if the CF cards or XD cards that I looked at.

**Q: Can I use my lens from my E410 with the E620**
A: Yes, you can use any 4/3rd lens made. You can't use any m4/3rd lens.

**Q: Does the Evolt E-620 lenses use a standard four thirds mount base?**
A: Yes, the Olympus E620 actually uses a 4/3 standard lens mount.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Entry Level DSLR
*by J***9 on July 20, 2010*

I am an amateur photographer, not a professional by any means. But I've been using an old Canon AE1 35mm film camera and/or a point and shoot digital for a quite few years and wanted to upgrade to a DSLR. After doing the research, I went with the Olympus. Everybody has their own preferences, so that plays into the equation. My friends with Canons say that Canon is the only way to go and every other brand sucks. My friends with Nikons say that Nikon is the only way to go and every other brand sucks. I compared this camera with the comparable Canons and Nikons and when it all played out, the Olympus was the camera that best matched my wants/needs. The Pros: One of the main selling points to the Olympus is that it has in body image stabilization, so you don't have to worry about buying lenses with IS vs. without. Pretty much, you can slap any lens on it and get image stabilization. This also cuts down on the weight of the lenses. This is something my Canon friends bitch about. They have lenses that do not have IS, so they get some blurred shots from time to time. Buying the lenses with IS is a lot more expensive. With the Olympus, you don't have to worry about it. For most amateur photographers, this is a big plus. The Zuiko kit lenses are top notch. I've got the 14X42mm, the 40X150mm and the 35mm Macro lenses, and they are all very impressive. The other Zuiko lenses are all great quality and get great reviews, while Canon and Nikon lenses tend to either be damn excellent or nearly crap. Plus, since the E-620 has in body image stabilization, you can simply buy an adaptor and use Canon and Nikon lenses (the ones without image stabilization), or other old prime lenses (though, the autofocus will not work with these 'other' lenses). The live view function is excellent, even though I hardly ever use it. I always use the viewfinder, but in playing with the live view, it rocks for what it is. If you are gonna use the live view function a lot, this camera has a very good one. The rotating/swiveling LCD display makes it easy to use the live view function (or the menus in my case) from odd angles if/when necessary. This is really helpful when taking macros, or using a tripod, or any other time you may need to be at an odd angle or attitude to the camera. Built in dust reduction system. This is a very handy feature to keep the sensor clean without you having to do anything but turn the camera on. The built-in art filters are excellent. The image quality is excellent. You have to play with the camera settings and learn how to get what you want out of it. It will produce stunning pictures, once you get the hang of it. This is true with any higher line DSLR. Right out of the box on "Auto", this camera produces nice images. But take the training wheels off, and this camera quickly gets even better. The controls are well laid out and pretty easy to use, plus they are programmable. So if you want to 'customize' the buttons for certain features that you use often, you can easily do so. The body is smaller, compared to other comparable DSLRs. I also find it to be very comfortable to handle. This is nice because you can carry the E-620 around without too much hassle. It is still a full size unit, but less size and weight are a plus if you are gonna lug the thing around all day. The basic functions are pretty easy to learn/use with a little practice. But as with anything else, RTFM! The price. If you shop around, this camera is a LOT cheaper than the comparable Canon (50D) or Nikon (D5000). You can get the body, 2 kit lenses and a few accessories for what it would cost you to get the comparable Canon/Nikon body and maybe one kit lens. Why pay a lot more $$$ for the Canon/Nikon name, when the odds are, you'll never notice a difference anyway? Sure, the brand snobs will point out all kinds of things that they say make their brand of choice "better", but unless you are a pretty serious photographer, it won't mean a thing to you. And if it does, you are probably gonna buy a much more expensive/sophisticated camera anyway. If you are looking for the most "bang for your buck", this camera delivers. The Cons: Overall, the Canon 50D and the Nikon D5000 will have a slightly better picture quality at high resolution; but the difference is not really noticeable unless you are a professional or otherwise have a lot of experience in the field. Most entry level buyers will never notice the difference anyway. Or, they'll cover the difference in Photoshop/Lightroom, etc. If you ARE sophisticated enough where these minor differences are going to make or break your selection, the odds are that you probably were not going to buy into this price range anyway. The viewfinder is a bit small. This takes a little getting used to and is something Olympus could (and should) improve upon. This is a minor inconvenience, but still, it could (and should) be better. The camera does NOT have video recording capability. For some people, this is a problem. For me, it is not. I already have an HD camcorder that I like, so I didn't want (or need) one in my still camera. Plus, for me, it just seems wrong to be taking videos from this type of camera. But that is just personal preference. If I'd wanted a camcorder/DSLR hybrid, I'd probably have considered the Olympus PEN. But in any event, if you want a camcorder function, the E-620 doesn't have one. The XD memory card. This camera uses both XD cards and CompactFlash cards (one slot for each). I like the CompactFlash cards, but the XD is not ubiquitous. Plus, the panorama function on the camera will only work with an XD card installed. If you are switching from a point and shoot, unless you have a Fuji or Olympus (about the only two cameras that use the XD cards), your existing memory cards (SD, etc.) will not work. And here is a tip: Buying high quality CF cards will speed up the write times. So don't skimp. Selection of lenses/accessories. There are a lot more kit lenses and accessories for Canon and Nikon. Not all of them are necessarily good or useful, but they are out there. So if you want the widest selection of aftermarket goodies, Canon or Nikon is probably gonna win that race. Yes, you can always buy an adaptor to use other manufacturer's lenses, but this is not exactly the same as purpose built accessories because not all of the lens functions will work with an adaptor (autofocus, etc.). The autofocus can be a bit fickle in low light. If you use the built-in flash with the auto-focus in some low light situations, it will still sometimes take the camera a while to dial in the focus. This can be pretty damn frustrating. Using manual mode and manual focus solves this problem. Since I have progressed to using manual mode with manual focus almost exclusively, this is no longer an issue for me. But it is an issue that Olympus should work on improving. I am told that the Canon/Nikon cameras can also have this issue, but that they are less temperamental about it than the Olympus. Battery life. Personally, I think the battery life is fine. However, if you use the live view function, it drains the battery a lot quicker. I seldom use the live view function, so I don't notice much of a problem. However, I bought a spare battery to keep in the bag anyway, so this is moot for me. If you are gonna spend $500-$600 on a nice camera, go ahead and drop the extra $10 for a spare battery, no matter what brand you buy. Brand recognition. People know the names "Canon" and "Nikon" very well. Olympus, not so much. So if you are a 'brand conscious' consumer who needs to go along and fit in with the crowd, then play it safe and buy a Canon or Nikon, and you'll be happy. The Bottom Line: I LOVE this camera. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. It is a pretty sweet rig. The truth is, at this level, you will probably be satisfied with whatever you buy. But for me, for the money, this is the best value for what I wanted in a camera. As with any DSLR, there is a learning curve. You HAVE to put the work into learning how to use the camera. If you are just gonna set it to "Auto" and snap pictures, then you may as well save the money and just buy a nice point and shoot because you are not going to enjoy or appreciate ANY complex DSLR. But if you are willing to put some time and practice into it, this camera will do whatever you want and more. It isn't a perfect camera, but none of them are. Do your research and make your decision based on the features and functions (and budget) that YOU want out of a camera. If the E-620 meets the criteria for what you want/need in a camera, then buy one and you will not be disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding DSLR - Fantastic with Legacy Lenses
*by D***S on June 17, 2010*

Having used Olympus equipment since 1978 (OM-2), I was even more impressed with this camera when I discovered how well it worked with legacy lenses. In my case I'm using macro extentions, super wide angle, telephoto zoom - and even a 300mm super telephoto (all Olympus Zuiko lenses used with my OM-2). The ease of use and picture clarity is nothing short of stunning. An OM Lens to OM 4/3 Mount Adapter (in my case I used the inexpensive Fotodiox version) is required, but the results were worth the extra $30 I paid for the adapter - and the 2x zoom factor (i.e. 300mm -> 600mm) due to the 4/3 conversion is an added bonus. Though Manual mode may work best - it was surprising how well Auto mode worked with my 30+ year old lenses - a testament to Olympus equipment. I was even able to use the Quick 310 flash & bounce grip (though limited and mostly in reverse bounce due to the intensity of the flash) to take some striking photographs. Past the legacy issue - this camera is all it's advertised - and more. Long battery life, incredible flash mode array, image stabilization, multiple built in filtering - including B&W color lens filters, monotone colors (blue, purple, sepia & green) - and to top it off 19 art/scn modes that others have talked about that truly are amazing. Yet that is only the beginning. The articulating display - including 180 degree viewing (from the front of the camera) makes this a top contender in the DSLR world. For previous Olympus owners - and before considering other DSLR cameras - put all the other brands in your hand and compare it to the E620. The ergonomics of size, weight and control functionality may very well make your decision for you. NOW FOR THE OLYMPUS MANUFACTURER: I have only one major issue - could you please make a high quality camera bag (not a backpack) with enough room for this camera and its lenses? It is rather embarassing to have to consider buying a Nikon or Cannon bag to carry Olympus equipment!!! ;-)
