Product Description
Create and compose like a pro with the SLR viewfinder and superior 3X optical zoom lens of the D-620L. Built in the image of the world-famous D-600L, the Olympus D-620L filmless digital camera delivers professional-level features for the ultimate in photographic performance and control.Olympus created the "filmless" zoom lens reflex digital camera category. With its aspherical, all-glass 3X zoom lens system, the 1.4 megapixel resolution D-620L raises the standard even higher for artistic prints or professional applications, such as newsletters or annual reports.
Amazon.com Review
The Olympus D-620L gives you high 1,280 x 1,024 resolution, a range of flash and exposure options, and a 3x zoom lens--plus professional-level, single-lens-reflex construction. Just as traditional 35mm SLRs are significantly larger than point-and-shoots, the Olympus D-620L is much bulkier than other non-SLR digital cameras, including Olympus's own point-and-shoot digitals. However, the added bulk is the price paid for improved optics, picture quality, and the advantage of being able to frame your image with precision before you snap the picture.
The through-the-lens viewfinder design means you can't use the LCD screen as a viewfinder--you can only use it for image playback. This is a fairly significant drawback if you like to see your picture on the LCD screen before you take it; otherwise it's not an issue.
The Olympus D-620L uses removable SmartMedia cards for memory; it comes with an 8 MB card, which holds about 100 images in the lowest resolution. It also includes a battery charger for the four AA Ni-MH batteries--a nice touch, especially since it drains batteries quickly (like all digital cameras).
The included pop-up flash has a good range of options, including red-eye reduction, fill-flash, and off. The Olympus D-620L also lets you use an optional extension flash--a great feature if you want more professional-looking photos. The Olympus D-620L lets you adjust exposure manually by three stops in either direction; in addition, it has spot metering and macro functions. The digital camera's three preset focus settings (1.3 feet, 8 feet, and infinity) can be useful in situations where the autofocus has trouble. Unfortunately, the autofocus's contrast detection system has difficulty in dim conditions, and the camera won't let you take a picture if the autofocus isn't set. We found this to be major inconvenience indoors, where even standard indoor lighting was often too dark to take a picture. The Olympus D-620L doesn't let you manually adjust focus either (other than providing focus-lock capability).
Pros:
- Through-the-lens viewfinder
- Superior optics
- Preset focus settings
Cons:
- Somewhat bulky
- Has trouble focusing in dim light
Amazon.com Product Description
The Olympus D-620L combines a high-resolution CCD (1.4 megapixel 1280 x 1024), a light-weight, built-in 3X zoom lens and TTL (through the lens) viewfinder, and an external flash sync/PC connector for professional quality shots in studio settings and an innovative design inspired by the Olympus IS series 35mm ZLR cameras for a true photographic experience.

Entry-level digital camera, but great photos!.......2003-10-17
I bought my Olympus D-620L four years ago, in November of 1999, just about the time that digital cameras were beginning to attract the interest of novice camera users. My camera has been a workhorse since then, helping me capture excellent photos for use on Ebay as well as in some brochures I've produced for small businesses. My friends have newer and fancier models, but my photos turn out as well as theirs do, and seem far easier to shoot. Unfortunately, last week my beloved old D-620L developed a problem when using the built-in flash. The flash doesn't flash until a second or so after the photo has been taken, so unless I use the camera outdoors or with good indoor lighting, the photos are too dark to use. I returned the camera to Olympus for repair, knowing that an out-of-warranty fix was probably going to be pricey. Well, I just got the estimate to fix it: $262.00. I'm guessing that's a standard fee that Olympus charges for any repair because before I mailed in the camera, someone I spoke to in the Olympus customer service department said that I'd probably be looking at "$262.00 to fix any problem." Still, I sent the camera to Olympus, hoping that the repair would be less than the estimate. It wasn't, so I'm having the camera returned without having the repair done. It doesn't make sense to put that kind of money into a camera that's 4 years old, even though I don't want to buy a new camera at this point. So, my old D-620L will be used for outdoor shots only until I make the move to buy another digital camera. I don't need a 3, 4, or 5 megapixel camera, movie capabilities, or many of the other bells and whistles that are standard on most digital cameras today. But I do want a camera that looks and feels like a camera, not a toy, and one that has a decent viewfinder and zoom. Until that perfect camera jumps up and grabs me, I'll be making do with my Olympus D-620L. By the way, the only reason I rated this camera with 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the steep cost of repairs after the camera is out of warranty. To be fair, however, the sky-high repairs on an out-of-warranty camera are probably a universal problem. Canon has a similar policy; my fairly new, barely out-of-date Canon Z155 died on me not long ago, and the repair estimate on that thing was MORE than the cost of the camera when purchased new. I ditched the camera.
Professional Camera.......2002-11-28
This camera is one of the best digital cameras for Magazine quality work. It is an SLR camera (you look through the lens). It has aperature and shutter-speed settings and USB and Serial attachments. You have three different quality (Standard, High, Super High) settings as well as date stamp possiblities. Great to focus and zoom! Looks professional too.
What a price!?.......2002-08-13
This was a nice camera when it was first released, but what's with the PRICE?!?! Tell me it's a typo!
For that price I'd rather pick up a Minolta Dimage 7i!!
JMHO,

Not the best choice........2001-12-01
Pick this camera up and you'll be reminded of the heft of older, metal-bodied 35mm film cameras. It seems that the SLR setup has added a significant weight burden, while supposedly lending better optics to the camera. In this price range, most digital cameras now offer potent optical zoom lenses (7-10x not uncommon), while the 620 makes do with a marginal 3:1 setup. In addition, while most offer resolutions in the 3+ megapixel range, the 620 is a 2.1 megapixel camera. While there are some user-controlled features that make it fun to use, it is still pretty much a computer chip controlled digicam with a particularly slow autofocus system. In this price range, I'll take the Olympus 700 anyday!
Fantastic and at this price, a steal.......2000-05-14
I remember when my office bought this camera back in 1998 for three times the price. I thought it was a great camera then, but even now it's fabulous. I love being able to focus in on small objects or use the wide angle to get the big picture. And with the extra 8 megs of smart media, it's like carting around three more rolls of film. The batteries only take three hours to recharge and they last. All in all, it's everything I wanted and more.

Product Description
Why is the Hybrid AA battery better? The Hybrid AA Battery is the next step in battery evolution. Original Alkaline batteries could only be used once and had to be thrown away. Bad for the environment, and bad for your wallet. Why throw money away? Nimh Rechargeable batteries were the solution, they could be used over and over again, but they had to be charged right out of the package, and would slowly drain even when not being used. If left sitting for a few months after being charged it would drain completely. The latest and greatest battery technological improvement, the Hybrid AA, overcomes these limitations by being ready to use right out of the package and holding it's charge up to four times as long. You can charge your batteries and they will be ready to go when you need them, no more charging immediately before use. *These batteries will work with any device that uses AA batteries, and replace any obsolete Alkaline AA or Nimh AA batteries.* COMPATIBLE w/ OLYMPUS Brio D-100 Brio D-230 Brio Zoom D-150 D-100 D-150 D-200 D-211 D-220L D-230 D-300 D-320L D-340R D-360L D-370 D-380 D-390 D-395 D-40 D-400 D-425 D-435 D-450 D-450 D-460 D-460 D-490 D-500L D-510 D-510Z D-520 D-530 D-535 D-540 D-545 D-550 D-560 D-565 D-575 D-580 D-595 D-600L D-620L E-10 E-100 RS E-20N E-20P G-720UZ Infinity 80 QD SP-310 SP-320 SP-350 SP-500 UZ SP-510 UZ SP-550 UZ SP-560 UZ Trip 500 Trip AF 50 and all other models powered by AA NiMH batteries
