Olympus E-620 Photos, Pictures & Review
After more than 1,000 exposures taken with the Olympus E-620, this DSLR deserves the maximum amount of stars IMHO. It has performed extremely well, producing perfectly exposed photos - many of which were taken under very challenging lighting conditions. It also performed well on fast-moving subjects, such as the female hummingbird in flight below which was taken amid very low lighting conditions. Very little noise was produced at ISO's of 400 or less. Acceptable noise on ISO's exceeding 400.
The Olympus E-620 also performed very well in producing Infared results, macros, close-ups, landscapes and portraits. I would highly recommend the Oly E-620 for nature photographers, being that nature photography is my forte. And I can see the Olympus E-620 performing excellently for wedding photography; it did an excellent job on whites which tend to become over-blown amid harsh light. Examples included below.
In addition, the Olympus E-620 is exceptionally light, has the capability to shoot with non-Oly lenses with an adapter and use of manual focusing; battery life is exceptional. Two batteries lasted me about 8 hours, but take note that I prefer shooting through the viewfinder and do not make heavy use of the LCD. Speaking of which - the LCD contains an at-a-glance shot of current settings, which is very handy, as is the swivel action of the screen. In addition, if you don't prefer to spend a lot of time post processing your photos, this camera may be the ideal candidate. All of my examples received very little post processing: basic sharpen, and noise reduction.
The Olympus E-620 would make a terrific camera for all photographers, because even the beginner can set the camera into Program or Auto Mode and end up with some very nice shots. And of course, those art filters included on the E-620 are certainly fun to experiment with, and can produce some unusual results - again, a plus for those who don't particularly enjoy post processing. The advanced photographer can take this baby from zoom to hyperwarp - getting the full nellie out of the Olympus E-620 due to expertise.

Tips for Mushroom Hunters
A mushroom manual or illustrated book is essential for all serious mushroom hunters. For those not wanting to invest in a purchase may find a handy guidebook for free at the local library.
Tom had a beloved aunt who used to take him mushroom hunting when he was a small boy. She knew exactly what to look for and was an expert when it came to mushroom hunting. Unlike Tom's aunt, I would not feel secure in eating or touching wild mushrooms because the most-friendly of mushrooms often have mirror versions while can be lethal. And if you plan to handle mushrooms, only do such using protective gloves. With some varieties of mushrooms, all it takes is one touch to the mushroom and one touch to the lips to prove fatal. Keeping this in mind, always exercise caution when mushroom hunting and look - don't touch, unless of course, you are an expert.
Mushrooms adore marshy ground - an environment in which they thrive. One of the best time to spot mushrooms is after a good rain shower. Be sure to take along your camera.
Many mushrooms exhibit vibrant colors that are guaranteed to fascinate the viewer, and to fill them with wonder. All grow extremely fast and are just as short-lived. Be sure and catch the magic before it vanishes!
