Olympus E620 ReviewTheir only choices were the DSLR cameras which is why the market for high-end digital SLR cameras is so competitive. However, the mainstream popularity of these cameras grew as they gained exposure in the market shelves. This has led manufacturers to make low-cost versions with stripped down features, lighter bodies, but better image quality than the popular compacts. Olympus joined the competition way back when it introduced the E-300, E-400, and E-500 series. Now they are planning to go a bit advanced in the midrange category with the Olympus E620  which tries
to be a low-cost midrange DSLR camera.Highlights
The inclusion of six art filters backs up this fact and is one of the most unique features found in a camera. The Pop Art mode is a favorite which over-saturates the colors making them more vivid and brighter while the Soft Focus adds a fantasy touch to the photo. The other modes also adjust the colors to suit different creative tastes and moods.
Up to 3 images can be shot as separate scenes and then later combined making superimposes possible. Olympus makes sure these creative pieces are presented properly by offering all kinds of sizes thanks to multi-aspect ratio shooting. Four aspect ratios can be applied to a single image so they look good in the standard print sizes such as 8" x 10", 4" x 6", and even widescreen aspect ratios so that they look just as good on widescreen TVs. To ensure that these images have the best quality possible, the Olympus E620 uses the TruePic
III image processing engine for sharp detail and
accurate colors that can even amaze professional photographers. The 12.3 megapixel specification allows all kinds of sizes to be taken in good quality. Thanks to the three modes of In-body Image Stabilization, any lens with the Four Thirds logo can be used without any loss in quality even in low light scenarios. Other FeaturesA "Live View" mode is also included and packed with some nifty features like the face detection which is already common in most cameras, but it takes the step a bit further by reducing the chances of blurring in addition to achieving accurate tone colors.The 2.7-inch LCD screen also swivels and has a wide viewing angle for the "Live View" to work even better.
There is a dust reduction technology to ensure photos look good in the long run as well. The Olympus E620 is powerful, affordable, and feature-rich in the creative side which is enough to compensate its poor battery life and interface. Those that want the more expensive E-30 in a more approachable package should definitely get this unit. Click here to learn more about Olympus E620
