Key Advantages

The OLYMPUS E-620 stands out for its compact and lightweight design, making it highly portable among DSLRs of its time. The vari-angle AMOLED screen provides excellent viewing angles and brightness for flexible shooting positions.

Its Four Thirds lens mount offers broad compatibility with a wide range of lenses. The Live MOS sensor technology enhances image quality with improved noise control, especially in low light conditions.

Additionally, the camera features built-in image stabilization to reduce blur from hand movements, contributing to sharper photos. The user-friendly interface and in-camera editing functions further enhance the photography experience.

Limitations

The 3-point autofocus system is limited compared to more advanced multi-point AF systems found in newer cameras, potentially affecting focus speed and accuracy for fast-moving subjects. The continuous shooting speed of 3 fps may be insufficient for professional sports or wildlife photography.

The ISO sensitivity, while adequate, does not perform at the noise levels managed by more recent sensor designs. Video recording support is limited or absent, restricting multimedia versatility.

The camera uses the older Four Thirds mount rather than Micro Four Thirds, limiting lens options compared to newer OM SYSTEM models. Battery life is moderate, requiring spare batteries for extended shoots.
