The E-620 seems to have more noise in the images than the E-420 which is another reason I prefer the images from the E-420. I've used the Vario-Elmarit 14-150 f3.5-5.6 on the E-420 a lot and since the lens had ILIS it worked out great. That lens is sharp at all apertures at all focal lenths. It also still retails for some €1100. Quite an asking price but well worth it in my mind.

E-620 Focal Length: 50 mm Aperture: f/3.5 Exposure Time: 1/160 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • E-620 • Panaleica • Vario-Elmarit • 14-50 f2.8-3.5
10/18/12  "Old Equipment"These images are not great, I just wanted to test how they still do with regard to the new cameras that have been released since I bought these. These orchids happened to be in bloom at the time and they make perfect testing models for this sort of thing. I believe that the Vario-Elmarit 14-50 f2.8-3.5 is one of the best kit lenses ever brought out. I also believe that it killed the sales of the Panasonic DMC-L1 because the asking price was astronomical. People who bought the combination though love it as I do. I've made some of my best images using this combination and with the Panaleica Vario-Elmarit 14-150 f3.5-5.6. I still use them on the L1. 3201
E-620 Focal Length: 50 mm Aperture: f/3.5 Exposure Time: 1/320 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • E-620 • Panaleica • Vario-Elmarit • 14-50 f2.8-3.5
10/17/12  "Old Equipment"The title suggests that I'm going back many years when I say old, but this camera only come out a few years ago. Of course it's obsolete within 18 months as technology advances at a fast pace. I also have the E-420 which was the model before the E-620 came out. Of the two I prefer the images from the E-420. So why also purchase the E-620? Easy, it has IBIS and the E-420 doesn't.
Going back to a post some days ago when I mentioned that people love to surround themselves with new equipment, both of the above mentioned cameras can make better images than I can make. I decide how the image is taken and with what settings, not the camera. Probably the E-420 would be enough for me but it's that new equipment addiction that pokes it's head out from time to time. 2136
