With 4 digital zuikos, having a backup e-body does make sense (to me). I
recently bought a used E620. I like the small size and adjustable LCD. I've
only taken a few pictures with it but so far I'm happy with it. I can see
the small size often making it preferable to my E-3.
Probably the only way to get an AS style L-bracket on it is to take a
hacksaw to a generic L-bracket though. Maybe the RRS L-bracket for the Pen
cameras would fit. Does anyone know if the distance from the center of the
tripod screw hole to the small anti rotation hole is about 0.85" on the Pen?

Hi list!
What do you say, should I get an E-620 while stocks last?
I'm an old time OM amateur (in all meanings of the word), with a drawer full
of analog OM cameras and lenses. (many of which are recent eBay purchases,
actually).
In 2008 I purchased my first digital SLR, an E-510.
I've got a flash and 4 digital lenses from wide angle zoom, macro and tele
zoom.
Now I've found out that Olympus has left the low end SLR market, leaving the
E-620 being the last in the series E-threedigit series. Since the E-onedigit
and twodigit bodies presently are above my budget, I'm asking for advice.
I think the E-620 has some nice features, and was thinking of upgrading
before. Or is this a dead end?
I would like to get the most value out of my lenses, so I prefer to stick
with Olympus. Selling what I have and change to Canon for instance seems
sad.
Regards, Mats.E
