Olympus E-620 Review
Summary
Yes, there are DSLRs available from companies other than Canon and Nikon. But give the devils their due, since they account for over 75 percent of the approximately 3 million DLSRs sold annually.

Amazingly, these creatures still exist! A new model designed for this crew is the new E-620, a lightweight, mid-range 12.3-megapixel DSLR that pulls some very cool tricks. Let’s see if it holds it own with the big boys.
