Olympus E-620 Digital Camera with 14-42mm and 40-150mm lenses

I bought this model after quite a bit of research in to the lens kit, size of the DSLR and ease of use, plus the fact that it would shoot RAW bursts continuously, which my old Canon E350d would not.

After only a couple of weeks of use I am a little frustrated at the complicated way in which the Olympus menu system works and the slightly overpowering built in flash system, however this is the only flaw. The quality of the RAW format pictures is outstanding , even when i display a superfine zoomon a 1080p 46" screen. Battery life is tremendous, and an 8gb card can be had for about £20 at present, meaning over 500 RAW shots on one card (I am far from a professional so this is plenty for me), i bought a 2gb and 8gb compact flash card when i bought the camera.

The camera is light, but still feels like a proper SLR, and to be honest i cant tell the difference when I hold it between the Olympus models and Canon (butthis is only my review).

The fold out screen is not only a handy gadget, allowing for obtuse angles to be actually seen, self portraits to be taken, and the full menu system to be seen, but its also fun to use.

I have also noticed that irrespective of the card and its write times, the camera keeps happily shooting away in all modes while the burst function is used - with some cameras it is dependant on the wrie speed of the card.

I will not be letting this caera go in a hurry.

When you´re getting started with photography and you´ve bought the camera itself, you want to get out there and take a lot of pictures without the need to buy a lot of extra things.
This bundle I felt will get me a long way without the feeling that something is missing. I got tripod, memory card, bag, cleaning kit, flash, macro- och teleconverters and not forget the extra battery. To get to know your camera, you need to keep it on for a while and for me, that extra battery came in very handy since I took a lot of snapshots the very first evening to test it out.

All in all, I´m very satisfied with this purchase
