    Olympus pleased with the announcement of the 12-megapixel DSLR camera E-620. According to the manufacturer, this is the world's most compact DSLR with integrated image stabilization. The camera is aimed at an audience that no longer wants to take ordinary amateur photos, but which does not yet have enough skills to produce real masterpieces. Actually, here we need a stabilization system that works in the range of up to four exposure levels and allows you to do without a tripod in most shooting situations.

    The second important advantage of the device is seven-point autofocus. In this case, five of the seven sensors are “cross-shaped”, that is, sensitive to both vertical and horizontal objects. This feature allows for faster and more accurate focusing. The press release notes that this autofocus technology supports drives like SWD, which provide about twice as much autofocus compared to traditional systems. In addition, a wireless flash controller is built into the device, which allows you to use accessories such as the Olympus FL-36R and FL-50R with it.
