Key Advantages

The Olympus E-620 stands out with its compact, lightweight design making it highly portable. It incorporates effective 5-axis image stabilization which improves handheld shooting performance significantly. The Live MOS sensor combined with TruePic III processor delivers high-quality images with low noise even at higher ISO settings. Its compatibility with a broad range of Four Thirds lenses offers photographers extensive creative flexibility. The camera provides both optical viewfinder and live view options for framing shots, catering to different shooting preferences. Full HD video recording with stereo sound adds multimedia functionality beyond still photography.

Limitations

Compared to newer models, the Olympus E-620's 12.3-megapixel resolution is relatively modest. The Four Thirds sensor size limits low-light performance compared to larger APS-C or full-frame sensors. Autofocus speed in live view mode can be slower due to contrast-detection technology. The camera lacks more advanced video features such as 4K recording or high frame rates. Its older interface and screen resolution may feel outdated compared to modern cameras. Battery life is moderate, requiring additional spare batteries for extended shooting sessions.
