the best camera I have come across in my 10 years as a professional photographer

Better at what? Like make you a better photographer? Have you tried it? I have a Canon 5D and am testing an E-620 right now and it seems pretty good. How about the 40D autofocus in live view vs the 620... doesn't hold a candle to it. Try it before you criticize it. Have fun.

40d=oldest camera in the world

Well, now we know what zooming means, thanks cameraman!:D, Nice camera though, very clever from olympus to stop with : the Megapixel war" 12.3 is enough!

the cameraman seems a bit oversmart...knows nothing abt cameras...doesnt know whch models to be compared??

[mindat21]

the art effect filters are dumb. I wish olympus would forget about them. its very gimmicky. So I think I will go for the e-520 just for that reason. Plus the price on the 520 is really good right now. then I will upgrade to the E-3 or next model by the time it comes out. Imagine what the flagship will be in a few years to come. The E-4. Ooooooooohhhh!!!!

The zuiko lenses are the key to olympus great photos. No other manufacturer can compete with zuikos. Except, zeiss, leica and such.

i think the 620 has alot better IQ than alot of the semi pro camera's today just look up the portraits on pbase compared to the d300,50d,k20d,

the 4/3's tech makes for amazing IQ

skin tones look great and very sharp

Wow. It has dials, buttons and knobs.

this was actually to answer "backfrompari"... but it didnt actually go there :S lol

[AndreSpinolaLgs]

how do u know its way better?... have u ever tried the e-620?!?!... humm i guess not...

I have the oly E-510 and my friend has a alfa200... and they both seem to work in pair!!! they're both good cameras.... the e-620 is more aimed at the 500D D90 and alfa 350?..... please do mention things you dont actually really know...
