Olympus is once again filling out the E-Series line of digital SLR cameras. Olympus introduced the E-620 IS at the 2009 PMA trade show. Filling out the line between the E-520 and the E-30, the E-620 offers several interesting features.

The E-620 can be tethered to your computer so that you can use the Live View feature. What you point the camera at is what you see on your PC’s monitor. But if you don’t want to tether your camera, use the articulated 2.7" LCD monitor on the back of the camera. The E-620 uses the Olympus 12.3 megapixel Live MOS sensor and is equipped with image stabilization.

Use that monitor to check out what the six Art Filters can do for your image. We especially like the grainy filter, with which images in black and white can have the appearance of Tri-X or Tmax 3200 film pushed several stops.

I purchased the McKinley Bag because I loved the bag and M-Rock has a good reputation. I took the bag out within two weeks of buying it and the wheels were not working properly. Because of the way they are attached they bow, causing the wheels to wear against the plastic housing that holds them.

I returned the bag for a new one, hoping I had a bad seed. Within a few months I had the same issue. My husband warned to not get the second bag as I would have the issue with the bag, he was right.

The right wheel is worn through so it is cracked open, it does not spin and the left wheel is almost as bad. The bag bows down with resting on the wheels and the bottom of the bag is wearing from being “dragged” because the wheels aren’t holding it up.

I wrote the the maker of the M-Rock bag, Michael Rockwell. He said nothing is wrong the bag that I wore it out despite my limited use in under a year. He refuses to help me writing, “I will not read your email or continue communication with you.”

Buyer beware. Great Bad. Bad Wheels and Service.
