Olympus E-620 reviewed by CameraLabs

Gordon Laing at cameralabs.com has posted his thorough review of the Olympus E-620, Make sure you check it out at the link below.
The E-620 represents a step-up from budget entry-level models for those who want a more sophisticated camera without having to invest in an upper mid-range or semi-pro body.

The E-620 inherits a number of key aspects from the higher-end E-30 including the same 12.3 Megapixel Live MOS sensor, six creative ‘art-filters’ and the articulated 2.7in / 230k monitor, allowing you to easily compose at any angle in Live View – although the screen panel itself is a newer version.

Nikkor AF-S DX 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR reviewed

Gordon Laing at cameralabs.com has posted a review of the Nikkor AF-S DX 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR general purpose wide angle telephoto zoom DSLR lens, make sure you also check out the full details and his other reviews, great stuff over there.

The DX 16-85mm VR is clearly a well-featured general-purpose lens, but the Nikkor range is not short of alternatives for DX-format bodies. Beyond the existing DX 18-70mm, the standard D80 and D90 kits came with good quality 18-135mm and 18-105mm lenses, while the DX 18-200mm VR remains one of the best super-zoom options around; even the DX 18-55mm kit lenses deliver respectable quality. None may boast the 24mm equivalent coverage of the DX 16-85mm VR, but the question is whether there’s sufficiently compelling reasons for owners of DX-format Nikon bodies to switch to this model instead?

Olympus E-30 reviewed by DigitalCameraReview

David Rasnake at DigitalCameraReview has posted a text and video review of the E-30 from Olympus, an "advanced amateur" or "prosumer" DSLR for 2009, featuring a 12.3 Megapixel Live MOS sensor, 2.7 inch LCD, a bunch of preset modes and some bells and whistles. A high performer in the shutter lag field, it offers consumer-friendly art filters and most of the E-3 features in a smaller body.

From the review:

When Olympus decides to take on any new DSLR project, two things are almost certain. First, you can bet that whatever they've got planned, they'll roll it out on their own schedule. And second, that they'll put a slightly different spin on a familiar idea. Whether you think the much debated decision to lead development efforts for the open-format Four Thirds system has been a smart move or not, it's hard not to respect Olympus for being a little "above the fray" when it come to the rampant copy-cat behavior in the quest for consumer dollars.
