This review is from: Olympus E-600 Digital SLR Camera, with 14mm - 42mm f3.5-5.6 & ED 40 -150mm f4.0-5.6 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lenses - Refurbished By Olympus U.S.A (Electronics)

I bought this because I have been an Olympus camera fan for over 20 years. I began with a 35mm film SLR - It was the best camera I have ever used, until now. This camera (E600) has a lot of features, which are pretty standard for a DSLR in this price range; being used to a totally manual film camera, I was a bit intimidated at first, but after a half day of shooting, I figured out a lot without any trouble at all

The E600 is excellent - I have not a single negative comment to add. The only possible issue I could see is the LCD screen - it's on a swivel connection. This has both pro and con to it. The pro is that the screen can be turned LCD side inward and this will protect the screen; the con is the fact that the swivel connection could, possibly, develop a loose electrical connection - only time and a lot of use will tell. The solution to the con side is to leave the screen with the LCD side out and use a screen protection film - they can be had almost anywhere.

While in the decision making mode, I have gone to various stores and held other similar priced cameras in my hands, both the Cannons and Nikons felt a little cheap - "plasticy" if you will.

Hands down, this is a VERY nice camera outfit.

Also, the seller had this at my door within 2 days of purchase - that is outstanding.

If you like Olympus, this is a great deal.
Just check out the review on the E-620
[]
Just as a note.
* You get access to all 6 art filters in (Olympus master 2 software) if you use RAW.
* You can overlay RAW images in camera. A double exposure
* The back light buttons of the E-620 is a great idea, but it does use extra battery power.

No need to spend extra money for a E-620. This is a great value.

The kit glass is cheap but takes OK photos. I like the 40-150mm, It's plastic, but this makes it light weight. The F5.6 is not a low light choice but, It Fits in my small camera bag. To cool.

The JPEG engine is impressive. Dynamic range at ISO 200 impressive. Great news if you your a JPEG shooter.

I've purchased E-600 on Adorama, through Amazon. Though it's refurbished, it really looks like new (and acts like new!). The only difference I've noticed is different package which has "reconditioned" tag. Overall, camera is very brisk, responsive, even in live view mode. Noise is of course an issue but that's not surprising 'cause E-600 has 4/3 sensor.

I'd also like to mention that both lenses have their own caps and HOODS AS WELL. very comforting because I don't need to buy separate ones. One thing that worries me is plastic bayonet on lenses. Could be problematic after some time (hopefully - very long time!).
