Olympus E-620 digital SLR turns your photos into art

Thanks to the Olympus E-620, taking photos just became a whole lot more fun. The company is touting its Art modes as a way for novice users to get interesting visual effects without having to use a photo editing program on their computer. The E-620 has six Art modes to choose from, including: pop art, soft focus, pale & light colour, light tone, grainy film, and pin hole. These Art modes made their debut in Olympus' advanced E30 digital SLR and have now trickled down to the more mainstream E-620. Although we were sceptical of the Art filters' usefulness, after playing around with them for an afternoon around Sydney harbour we think these modes can definitely be used if you want to spice up your photos, without making them look tacky. Furthermore, these photos also highlight the E-620's ability to capture clear photos and also show it to be a stellar performer in low light.
