I now have about 15,000 trips (Olympus guaranteed 100 000. allowances for the closure) plan, from the harsh winter here in the Swabian Alb on various airshows, to the warm and humid Thailand holiday she has everything totally without problems gemeister. The usability is exellent and does not require much training, the menu needs rather more practice, but also not rocket science.
The images of the Four Thirds are always in very good quality and also the 2 kit lenses actually leave anything burning. The noise in high ISO range is available remedy can be found as well in the good, fast lenses from Olympus or Sigma. As the lenses have been developed for this type of processor, there are hardly any restrictions. The only drawback is in my eyes the crop factor of 2, be standard lenses for fast telephoto lens. But even after nearly 2 years they give no reason to complain.
The good workmanship of Olympus gets after prolonged use also very pleasant felt, buttons, switches, the joint of the rotary screen and the knobs feel even just like on the first day. Even the body is fairly robust, though no magnesium alloy as they have the "big" Olympus cameras .The Rubberized surfaces make the E-620 to a right Handschmeichlerin :-)
I've come to appreciate the illuminated buttons on the camera, a very sinvolle thing!
Very pleasant I find the ARTScan motives so are me already some nice black / white successful recordings.
I use the HLD-5 Battery Grip permanently, for me a great accessory for this small DSLR.
I am very pleased with the E-620 and this camera would buy immediately.
