Olympus E-620

 
The 2.7-inch flip-out-and-twist LCD, standard on most Olympus models, the E-620 has some nice touches, including a built-in wireless flash controller lacking in competitors like the Canon EOS Rebel T1i and Nikon D5000 and in body image stabilization.
However, though it offers competitive photo quality, it lacks the (admittedly primitive) video capture capability that Canon and Nikon have brought down to this price segment, and it can't match their performance or comparatively streamlined interfaces.

Features of Olympus E-620 :

• E-620 is smaller (by around 1cm in each dimension) and around 180g lighter (body only)
• Slightly smaller viewfinder with reduced frame coverage (0.96x, 95%, vs. 1.02x, 98%)
• 7-point AF (5 cross-type) vs. 11-point (all cross-type)
• Improved LCD (Hypercrystal III, vs. E-30s' version II unit)
• Only one control dial (vs. E-30's two)
• Slower continuous shooting rate (4fps for 5 RAW frames, vs. 5fps for 12)
• Fewer aspect ratio crops (3 vs. 8)
• No built-in digital level gauge
• Only allows two exposures to be overlaid in multi-exposure mode (vs. 4)
• No PC flash sync or DC-in sockets
• Slower x-sync (1/180 sec vs. 1/250 sec) and max shutter speed (1/4000 sec vs. 1/8000 sec)
• Lower capacity BLS-1 battery (7.2V 1150 mAh) vs. BLM-1 (7.2V 1500 mAh)
