Features
The camera is marketed by Olympus as the world's smallest DSLR with built-in image stabilization (IS). It is 130 mm × 94 mm × 60 mm in size and weighs 475 grams (1.05 lb), body only (533 g/1.18 lb with battery and a Compact Flash memory card)[1].
As with all Four Thirds cameras it has a crop factor of 2.0.
Apart from being sold as camera body only, the E-620 is available with three lens configurations:
- The Zuiko 14–42 f/3.5–5.6 lens
- The 14–42 lens and the Zuiko 40–150 f/4–5.6 telephoto zoom
- The extremely compact 25 mm f/2.8 "pancake" lens
Unlike the E-420 and E-520 it has an Olympus-designed battery grip, HLD-5. The E-620 also has its own underwater housing, PT-E06, submersible down to 40 meters[1].
