The Olympus E-620 is a Four Thirds DSLR announced February 24, 2009. It combines features of the E-420 (smaller size), E-520 (image stabilization), and E-30 (new 12MP sensor, slightly larger viewfinder, fold-out LCD, newer AF sensor). Many speculate that it represents a merger of the 4xx and 5xx lines, updated with the new technology from the E-30. As with all Four Thirds cameras it has a crop factor of 2.0. It is available body only, with the Zuiko 14-42 f/3.5-5.6 lens, or with both the 14-42 and the Zuiko 40-150 f/4-5.6.
With its new 12.3MP E-620, Olympus has packed a lot of extras into a very small DSLR. At $700 (estimated street, body only; $800 with 14–42mm f/3.5–5.6 Zuiko lens), it borrows creative shooting controls from its big brother, the E-30 ($1,300, street, body only; $1,400 with the same lens). But its petite body is very similar to the entry-level E-420 ($413, street, with the same lens)—with a few key exceptions.
