Once again, dpreview awards a "Highly Recommended" for an Olympus product: This time the E-620 convinced the dpreview jury being "a pretty compelling package" at a favourable price. Especially the superb image quality, the good response and dynamic range (at ISO 200 and above) combined with its class-leading level of external controls for quick shooting were reasons to come to this conclusion. dpreview even emphasises that the E-620 "competes more convincingly with its peers than any other Four Thirds camera" they have yet seen. The Olympus E-620 can be enjoyed with nearly all E-System accessories; using additional lenses.

Clearly impressed by its ease of use and accessibility, the TIPA jury had this to say about the Olympus E-620 - the world’s smallest and lightest creative digital SLR with built-in image stabilisation: "This lightweight 4/3 D-SLR camera features enough technologies to satisfy all novice photographers". In selecting the Olympus E-620 as the "Best D-SLR Entry Level" for 2009, the jury also noted that "beyond the 3200 ISO sensitivity of its Live MOS 12.3 MP sensor, we welcome its autofocus system with 7 points, several artistic filters and the swivelling display which allows the use of Live View from all angles". The new award-winning E-620 sees Olympus chalking up another success in its mission to put advanced digital photography technologies into the hands of ambitious photographers everywhere.
