I am currently using An Olympus SP-570UZ. I like the size and large zoom. I also use an Olympus FL40 external flash, (necessary for weddings). I am generally pleased except for one feature: SHUTTER LAG. I take pictures of dogs and an occasional wedding and the shutter lag problem is very annoying. The review, (very well done), mentioned some shutter lag. Would the E-620 be better in this regard than my current 570UZ. I need something that is small with Zoom and minimal shutter lag. A dog jumping or the flower girl prancing down the isle in no time for shutter lag. Any suggestions or comments?

I think it will bring us more details which are closer to the reality than the former section. I agree with you that the camera will helped us to get many of the joys I experience in photography today. Besides, the HQ video is also amazing to us.

Hi Jonaith – You have to ask yourself: Will a new camera give me anything I really need that my old camera doesn’t give me? If the answer is yes, then buy it. Also consider, how much are you currently invested in your photography. If you’re just a weekend snapshooter, then stick with the camera you have. If you want the latest technology and feel you can make good use out of it, then buy the new camera.

Just remember, manufacturers are always coming out with new products, so don’t kick yourself if you do buy a new one and they come out with something newer in 6 months, which they doubtless will.

Hi their got a question, i already have an old e-410 for a while now thinking of upgrading the main body for the e-620 but the question is does it really worth the change? I never went to store to actually hold one, afraid of buy it and regret it. I got my interest in the IS system more then anything else since the size is really near my e-410 and think as staying with an olympus cause i already got some lense, flash and don’t want to buy that over once again ^^ Thank for your answer in advence.

Tio – thanks for your comment. We each have our own point of view. I personally prefer Nikon. The E-620 is good, but not great.

People used to knock live view when only Olympus had it. As a macro shooter I knew anyone shooting macro in nature would find live view a revelation, fast or slow focus, w/ or w/o the articulating screen (another feature Oly introduced to DSLRs).

I haven’t held the E-620s competition, but the ergonomics, superior lenses, light weight, build quality, and uncrippled feature set (no mirror lockup on D40X, no spot meter on the Xti) made the 2 lens E-510 kit on sale for $550 a no brainer Xmas ’07. The Olympus felt like a precision instrument, the Canon like planned obsolescence w/ interchangeable lenses, with the Nikon splitting the difference. By all accounts the E-620 improves on the E-510 in every way.

Alex:
If you like taking all of your shots from the same viewpoint, namely eyelevel…
good for you.
So I guess because YOU don’t need an articluating LCD screen, NO ONE should have one.

Depending on your set of Nikon lenses, the D5000 might not auto-focus (no body-motor) – so there may be no advantage in sticking with Nikon for your light travel camera.

Oh, and to the reviewer: more focus points doesnt make an AF faster, au contrare, it can actually make it slower, and imprecise, because it sometimes wont pick the point you want. Generations of film users did just fine with 3 AF points and many dslr users do so to this day– besides Imager still has its 11 points if you really need alot of AF points
