- 7-point AF
- ISO sensitivity from 100 to 3,200
- TruePic III+ image processor
- wireless flash controller
- 2.7” tilt HyperCrystal III LCD with 230,000 pixels
- multi aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3, 3:2and 6:6)
- size: 130×60x94mm
- body weight: 520g
The E-620 body has an MSRP of $700 in the US, while buyers will be set back $800 for the set that contains the 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 Zuiko lens.
DP Review has the official Olympus press release in English (which is still not available at Olympus America’s website) and a hands-on preview of the new camera.
