Its been so very long now that the Olympus E-620 has been announced and not a single review yet! well i am bored waiting and waiting and thats why thats how its suspense is waning and God willing even if reviews will come in about two or three months time peoples interest(including mine will already be fading and we shall look elsewher for already out cameras
Hi Felix, I regret to hear about your impatience for the review of the Olympus E620; but despite being announced about 2 months ago, the Olympus E620 still has not arrived to neither consumers nor reviewers yet (Except pre-production units). All of DPInterface’s reviews are based on final, production versions of cameras; because pre-production models (those “Previews” you see elsewhere on the net) don’t reflect the actual quality on the final product.
I will try my best in getting the review of the Olympus E620 SLR out as fast as possible. Thank you for understanding – Brad
