Although according to Olympus the E-520 is staying in the range, in many ways the E-620 can be seen as the natural replacement. Inevitably some features have filtered down from the E-30, which is a good thing but that camera is significantly larger and heavier and a good deal more expensive.
So while the E-620 fits well into the Olympus line-up, it has to go head-to-head with the likes of the slightly more expensive yet video-enabled 12MP Nikon D5000 and 15MP Canon EOS 500D. Both are extremely strong contenders for your cash, but unlike previous years the differences now maybe just too close to make the call, unless video is your thing.Read full review
