Olympus E-620 Digital SLR

Olympus’ latest E-620 DSLR targets users who are interested in something better than a budget entry-level DSLRs.This new camera is packed with features from the higher-end E-30, but uses a body that’s closer in size to the compact E-420 DSLR.The Olympus E-620 incorporates a Four Thirds lens mount and is compatible with a range of Four Thirds lenses from manufacturers such as Olympus, Sigma, and Panasonic / Leica.Keep in mind that since the E-620 uses the Four Thirds system, there’s a 2x digital crop factor. This means the equivalent 35mm spec is doubled. Put into numbers, this means the supplied 14-42mm kit lens is actually a 28-84mm lens, and so on.


At the time of this writing, the E-620 is the smallest body to offer built-in Image Stabilization. What’s great about in-body stabilization is that it works with any lens you attach—new, old, prime, or zoom—so you won’t be paying for this feature with future lens purchases as you would with manufacturers such as Canon or Nikon who build the feature into each lens. The downside with in-body stabilization is that you won’t get to see the stabilizing effect through the viewfinder.
