"If you’re after a compact digital SLR that’s easy to use but has advanced features, the Olympus E-620 is for you. It produces vibrant, well-defined shots and is a lot of fun to use."

Value for money: "good performance" (4 out of 5 stars)
In metering tests the E-620 under-exposed the image, but maintained detail in the highlights. At high ISOs it struggled, but it's a good addition to Olympus line-up, with nice attributes like vari-angle screen, which is great for Live View. It's the best “build and feel” of cameras tested, but lacks a HD video function.

"... Photo quality is solid, with eye-popping colours and lots of detail. The low light performance isn't up to what we've seen from the Canon 500D and Nikon D5000 though: there's more speckly noise ... Of course, how good your photos turn out depends as much on the lens as the camera, and the 14-42mm kit lens makes for a decent jump-off point into photography. After finding your feet you'll probably want something a little more impressive ... A compact, full-featured DSLR with a palatable price tag and some nifty extras."

"Pros: Lots of controls at hand. Fun art filters. Compact size. Flexible live view screen.
Cons: No video. Small grip. Noise at higher ISOs."

Lack of video capture in entry-level DSLRs has, in a short period of time become a deciding issue. Olympus's E-620 misses out on this and despite performing highly image results and overall use, it remains behind the current first-runners in this field.
