OLYMPUS E 620 DSLR
6 of 6 found this helpful I'VE BEEN A USER OF OLYMPUS DSLR CAMERAS FOR A WHILE AND HAVE USED THE E 1 , E 500 , E 400 AND E 510 ; HAVING HAD THE E 620 FOR A FEW DAYS MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE VERY FAVOURABLE
THINGS I LIKE
HANDLING IS BETTER THAN THE E 400 AND E 510 - CONTROLS SEEM TO FALL TO HAND IN A NATURAL WAY - VERTICAL SHOOTING IS BETTER THAN ALL OF THE PREVIOUS CAMERAS - EXCEPT FOR THE E 1 WITH THE ADDITIONAL BATTERY GRIP - THE POSITIONING OF THE APERTURE ADJUSTING DIAL AND THE EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENT BUTTON IS FOR MY HANDS (MEDIUM SIZE) SPOT ON
INFO IN VIEWFINDER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE VIEWFINDER IS MUCH BETTER THAN AT THE SIDE AS IN THE E 500 , E 400 AND E 510
LIVE VIEW (WITH SOME LENSES) IS THE BEST YET
SEPERATE WHITE BALANCE SENSOR
ILLUMINATED BUTTONS - NOT JUST CLASSY BUT PRACTICAL
IMPROVED INTERFACE
ARTICULATED SCREEN - SUPER FOR MACRO - ESPECIALLY LOW LEVEL SHOTS - BUT I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN TURN IT IN TOWARDS THE BODY , SO THAT YOU CAN USE THE CAMERA WITH JUST THE VIEWFINDER AND NO DISTACTIONS FROM THE SCREEN GOING ON AND OFF
THE IMPROVED SLIDE AND LOCK CARD DOOR A DEFINITE IMPROVEMENT OVER THE E 500 , E 400 AND E 510
IMPROVED DIAL - I USUALLY SHOOT IN APERTURE PRIORIY MODE AND THE NEWLY DESIGNED DIAL IS MORE TACTILE , ESPECIALLY WHEN WEARING GLOVES
NEW ADDITIONAL FOCUS POINTS - ALTHOUGH I USUALLY SHOOT WITH THE CENTRAL FOCUS POINT , IT IS USEFUL TO BE ABLE TO SELECT OTHERS WHEN SHOOTING FROM A TRIPOD ESPECIALLY WITH LANDSCAPES AND I THINK THE INTERFACE FOR SELECTING THESE POINTS IS WELL IMPLEMENTED
WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS CAMERA ??
I HAVE A VESTED INVESTMENT IN 4/3 RDS SYSTEM AS I HAVE NOW A LARGE RANGE OF LENSES
I HANDLED BOTH THE E 3 AND E 30 AT A CAMERA SHOW - THE E 3 I FRANKLY DID NOT LIKE (NOT THE E 1 REPLACEMENT I CRAVED) .THE E 30 WAS AN OBVIOUS TEMPTATION BUT IT IS BIGGER AND MORE EXPENSIVE - PLUSES FOR TH E 30 FROM MY POINT OF VIEW-LARGER VIEWFINDER , TOP SCREEN , DUAL DIALS
PLUSES FOR THE E 620 - SIZE/WEIGHT . PRICE
THINGS I DO NOT LIKE
THE WORST THING ABOUT THIS CAMERA (AND E 500 , E 400 , E510 ) IS LACK OF A DEDICATED BUTTON FOR EXPOSURE BRACKETING . YOU HAVE TO GO INTO THE MENU STRUCURE - NAFF !! - SURELY THIS IS AN EASY FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COMPARED TO OTHER CAMERAS IN SAME PRICE BRACKET
JMO BUT !
PLUSES FOR THE E 620
IN CAMERA IMAGE STABILIZATION
GREAT LIVE VIEW
CLASS LEADING CUSTOMISATON
GREAT JPEGS STRAIGHT OUT OF CAMERA
THE BEST BEST BEST SENSOR CLEANING SYSTEM
COMPACT SIZE
SUPERB LENSES AT REASONABLE PRICE - KIT LENSES 14-42MM AND 40-150MM ARE SMALL , LIGHTWEIGHT BUT BLOW AWAY OTHER MANUFACTURERS "KIT" LNSES , OTHERS SUCH AS THE 50MM MACRO F2 CANNOT BE BEATEN BY RIVAL BRANDS IN TERMS OF VFM - WHAT A FBULOUS LENS !!!
UPSIDES OF THE 4/3RDS SYSTEM
SIZE !!
4/3 RATIO MEANS LESS CROPPING TO PRINT !!
CAN USE OLD LENSES (WITH ADAPTER -MANUAL ONLY) AND FOCUS TO INFINITY
OUT OF CAMERA JPEGS ARE MEGA !!!!!!!!!!
DOWNSIDES
THE MOST OBVIOUS AND WELL PUBLICISIED IS THE HIGH ISO PERFORMANCE - IF YOU USE YOUR CAMERA IN LOW LIGHT SITUATIONS ALL THE TIME OLYMPUS CAMERAS ARE NOT FOR YOU - BUY A NIKON INSTEAD ; BUT MOST OF US ARE NOT PRESS PHOTOGRPAHERS AND SHOOT AT ISO 100-400 ; THE OUT OF CAMERA JPEGS FROM ALL OLYMPUS DSLRS ARE MEGA !! - RAW SUCKS !!
WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN ??
OH YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the best pentax 6x7 lens for flash portraiture
one of the problems with the pentax 6x7 or 67 camera is the flash sync speed , with the 'standard ' 165mm lens it is pretty much impossible to shoot portraits indoors with flash hand held. this leaf shutter version allows much higher shutter speeds synchronised with flashguns or studio flash . both lenses are stellar optical performers - the f4 leaf shutter version loses out in terms of weight (although it is shorter and i think better handling ) and of course loses out in light gathering by a stop . shallow depth of field is not really a problem as in this format at 8-10ft f4 still gives very shallow dof . this f4 leaf shutter version commands of course a much higher price than the standard f2.8 but if handheld flash portrait photography is your thing then for this camera this lens is pretty much a must . i currently own both f2.8 and this f4 LS , i think that i will sell the f2.8 and keep this one especially as i also have the 150mm . in summary , for handheld flash portraiture on this camera this is THE lens , actually for any flash portrait work this is the lens , for landscape/natural light work the cheaper f2.8 version or the even cheaper 150mm or 200mm lenses may be the better bet in terms of 'bang for the buck'-all of them are superb lenses
