Key Advantages

The Olympus E-620 excels with its compact and lightweight body, making it highly portable for photographers on the go. Its Live View functionality combined with dual autofocus modes offers versatile focusing options. The built-in image stabilization significantly improves image sharpness in various shooting conditions. The adjustable LCD screen boosts flexibility in framing shots, especially for low or high angles. High ISO performance enables shooting in low-light environments with reduced noise. Moreover, support for RAW format provides extensive editing capabilities for advanced users.

Limitations

Despite its advantages, the E-620's 12.3-megapixel sensor is modest compared to newer models with higher resolution. Its continuous shooting speed is relatively slow, limiting action photography. The autofocus system, although versatile, may be less effective in very low light or rapid motion scenes. The camera lacks HD video recording, which limits multimedia functionality. Battery life may be shorter compared to modern DSLRs or mirrorless cameras. Lastly, the Four Thirds lens system has fewer options compared to more widely adopted formats.
