    The real pain is …
    The real pain is getting a decent telephoto on “big” crops. You can get 600mm at F4-F5.6 with a light and cheap zuiko.

    because they have …
    because they have small 4/3 mount.. there is no way how to put bigger sensor there. Now they stated, that 12Mpix is the edge…

    few years before they boasted, that 20Mpix on this sensor is not a problem… heh

  3. xmeda says:

    7-14/4 (14-28eq) is …
    7-14/4 (14-28eq) is only one wide lens + 8mm fisheye (16eq) and look how much that zoom costs – more than E30!.. and then check DA10-17(15-25,5eq) or sig 10-20(15-30eq) or tamron 10-24(15-36), DA12-24.. 2-3 times cheaper

    you have to multiply 2xcrop on oly lenses, but aps-c nik/pentax has 1.5x

    Another big pain on olympus are fast lenses.. only sigma 30/1.4 and 50/1.4 are usable.. they need to build something like 25/1.4 or 20/1.4 to have at least usable DOF on normal range.

    Yes, but it’s still a DSLR which means it’s BIG compared to p&s.

    7-14mm zuiko, 9- …
    7-14mm zuiko, 9-18mm zuiko, 11-22mm. Wider than what pentax offers and surely better. Olympus has the best lenses of ANY DSLR system.

    I have both the 510 and 520 and I LOVE them. I would buy two of the 620s the day it came out if they had just kept the battery the same. Since they changed it, and I have 7 batteries for the 510/520 (same batter), I’ll wait until I break one again before upgrading. I don’t know why companies don’t keep the batteries the same longer – it would help sell the new cameras. But don’t forget the lens. Get the 12-60 for truly stunning pictures. The two tiny lenses that came with 510/520 were crappy.

    they’re making …
    they’re making small SLRs because it’s a great option if you don’t want to carry a big camera, especially with the 25mm pancake. Except for not having HD video the 620 seems like the best easy-travelling, everyday camera: IS, live view, SLR sized sensor, manual focus and interchangeable lens, all good things.

    I’ve currently got an E410, mainly for the size and it’s the only dslr series without a grip as such. I look forward to seeing the 620 in real ilife. Just a shame the grip’s been enlarged, (I prefer the good old SLR style body for handling.) The extra metering points and slightly enlarged viewfinder (over the 400′s) sound like positive improvements, and the swivel screen too
