    Re: We need your Olympus Review

    John, I perfectly understand your point and agree with it. I said "I may have been spoiled by the E-510 and my concerns would not be an issue for entry level DSLR users who are making the switch from P&S which this camera is targeting,..." Or, in your case wanting a smaller and lighter camera that offer well balanced images. For someone who is already an Olympus E-510 user looking to upgrade, Olympus has not given me enough reasons to do so with this model. Those images you posted are great by the way. When it comes me switching, I wouldn't do that anytime soon or maybe not at all, who knows.

    I love the E-620. It's by far my favorite Olympus camera yet. And it's the 12-megapixel sensor that does it for me. I remember feeling a little frustrated and conflicted when I shot with the E-510 because I knew I could get better quality from one of the Canons. I don't feel that way with the E-620. And by the way, the new processor that's being used with the 12-megapixel sensor in the E-P1 is delivering even better quality. I think the E-P1 has the best overall quality of any Olympus digital camera so far. But for action photos, the E-P1 isn't the right tool. I need the speed and accuracy of an actual SLR to shoot the mountain bike stuff.
