Digital camera reviews of Olympus Evolt E620 12.3MP Live MOS Digital SLR Camera with Image Stabilization and 2.7 inch Swivel LCD (Body Only)
Digital camera Review: Big improvement over the Olympus 420/520 cameras
Summary: 4 Stars
My biggest complaint about the the Olympus 420 is the slow autofocus speed. This is especially notable in low light. I have a great deal invested in Olympus E system accessories and lenses so was reluctant to change camera brands. I have been very happy with the newer E620. it is a major upgrade on the 420/520 cameras.
The AF speed is much better, even with the kit lenses that I already own. The 620 has 7 auto focus sensors,5 are are the cross type. The 420 has only 3, non cross type AF sensors.
Another improvement is the contrast detect auto focus when using live view.There is still a significant delay when shooting with live view, but it is much improved over shooting with live view in the 420, which was essentially not usable except for landscapes and studio work
Much of my photography is underwater, and have found the slow autofocus of the 420 to be an annoying handicap especially shooting macro. I plan on purchasing the PT-E06 housing for the 620, and based on on dry land experience will expect the 620 to much more responsive.
Overall I think the 620 is a one of the best Olympus DSLR cameras to date, It has the same sensor as the E-30, in much smaller and lighter body. It also shares with the E30 the ability to do double exposures, and the "art filters".Though I have yet to find a use for these features.
I have taken about 500 shots since I purchased the body, and am quite satisfied. Highly recommended
