The following is a Rebecca West Quote.
"Any authentic work of art, must start an argument, between the artist and his audience."
Must Read
"Photographic art overlaps with the landscape, portraiture, and other photography types. It is defined by the artist's vision and approach to get distinct photographs. Unlike other forms of photography, fine art photography is about capturing what the artist sees instead of what the camera sees. It is just another tool for artists to produce their art."
(Quote from N.F. I. The Nashville Film Institute)

Love your old camera reviews, picked up a EOS 6D for cheap and using the 28-135 lens looks great. It's great fun. I have Olympus cameras going back to the original OM-1.
Thank you for watching my channel
This guy represent a lot of us: people who want a good photo for a reasonable price without tye hustle of running after te last trends because we just love photography as an art and not a gear race.
I took your advice and my E-620 arrived from Japan yesterday and so far I'm amazed at all the functions and the lenses are great!!! i got a kit with two zoom lenses and they're both minty new!!! and it only took 5 days to arrive to me in South Carolina. I'm looking forward to spending more time learning all the functions and seeing what kind of photos I can get with it. really enjoying your videos :-)
Just picked up an E620 with 14-42, 40-150 AND the brilliant 30mm f3.5 macro, which reviews called one of the sharpest lenses ever tested. All in like-new condition. All for the princely sum of $180!
I love picking up cheap old gear and giving it new life.
15 years ago I was dreaming about Fuji S5Pro. I bought it last year for around $200 with 18-70mm lens. I realy love those old and very interesting cameras. Every producer had it's own quirks and features. And btw. S5Pro has an amazing DR, just expose for shadows.
"Older" digital cameras, are like our elders, we can certainly learn from, and appreciate them.
They set the standard!
What a storyteller you are😊. I own several ‘old’ Olympus camera’s and Ft lenses. E-1, E-500, E-510, E-3 and 14-42, 40-150 and my alltime favourite 50-200. I agree that the ccd sensors of E-1 and E-500 are special. I do not own the E620, but might be an option for me. You mentioned a lot of things the E-620 offers, but you did not mention a very special option that few cameras have…illuminated buttons, so you don’t have to curse when out in te dark…’Hey…I can see what I’m doing’. Thank you for your very nice review of this Olympus gem👍🏻🍀
The good thing about a plastic lens mount is, if dropped the lens mount will break, which can be easily replaced. The camera lens mount is steel, and I think, would last a long time...that is easy to replace also.
I’m learning on an Olympus E-420. Picked it up for 45 bucks shipped on eBay with lens! Had to buy a battery and charger but still only in for 70 bucks!! I love this thing!! Having a blast!!
The e-420 has a gorgeous 10mp sensor, it produces award winning photos :)
Put it on the automatic sunset setting and couldn’t believe the colors!! Gorgeous!!
I just picked up an Olympus E620 yesterday, mostly because I wanted the Olympus 12-60mm lens attached to it. It was labeled as junk and the price was 5000 Japanese yen (yup, I live in Japan). At the current rate it was about $40 USD. The staff in the 2nd hand store said it didn't work and the lens was "cloudy". I flipped the switch and it powered up just fine, The lens locked focus fast, and the image seemed pretty clear to me. I dropped the cash and walked out happy with my fully-functional "piece of junk". Today I gave it a good cleaning, upgraded the firmware, and took it out for some test images. I'm still happy and have no guilt spending five thousand (Yen) on it!
WoW..great deal..and great camera/lens combo :)
Thanks Carmine! Haven't used the E600 but every other Olympus DSLR is incredible. Great that you're showcasing these older classic which are still going strong! You can see where the OM-D series got its inspiration for design. Take care. Great photos by the way - if you have, you have it.......
Hello, OLYMPUS has been around a long time making high quality cameras and lenses. I had several OLYMPUS 35mm film cameras that always performed great.
Love the vintage postcard look of the second photo!
The camera is tempting, but I do have an E-30, soooooo still thinking.
The E30 is a wonderful camera. The AUTOFOCUS is very fast ✔️
What great information, Carmine. Thanks for sharing.👍👍
Hello, and thank you..much appreciated..

After watching 40+ of your videos, I just got the Olympus E-510 with 40-150 lens for $48, plus had to buy a battery for under $10 total $58 for a great camera system (Original Price in 2007 $999 body & $260 lens total $1,259.00. In 2023 dollars $1,825.00.
The only problem was I ordered microSD to XD adaptor didn't work so had to return them and bought instead a 2GB CF card for under $14. I believe it will hold about 500 plus images which is way more then enough for me even if I spray and pray. (Folks don't spray and pray unless you are a stringer for the media)
Best thing is to buy a CF adaptor that takes SD cards. Much cheaper!
Wow, Great Kills pics.
Great video brotha I have a e500 & e550 I love the Olympus camera ! God bless and keep ‘em coming !
Good to know!
Magnificent !!!! I'm hunting right now for this !!!! Thanks 😉😉
Thank you for watching my channel.
Good review , just bought one of these with 14-42 lens , I already have two other four thirds lenses I use on MFT with adaptor , I’m in the u.k and these are hard to find at the right price .. awaiting delivery in the next few days but everything you said gels with my views
Watching on August 3rd 2024
Happy anniversary to this video :)
Great lighting on your channel..🙅🏽
I have an EPL 5 that I picked up for $154 a couple of years ago. I lusted after the Fuji X70 for years, but the price never drops and they don't have IBIS, no interchangeable lens and no option for adding an EVF. I picked up a pristine EM1 Mark II for $600 several months ago, but the EPL 5 is my most frequent companion.
The Epl5 from Olympus is a super camera..the images it captures are fantastic 😃
Yo tengo está cámara la Olympus E-620 junto con la Olympus OMD EM1-X, y soy extremadamente feliz
La EM1-X la tengo con el 12-40mm f2.8 Pro. Y la Olympus E-620 tengo el 14-42mm y el 40-150 ambos de f4 f5.6
Comment translated. I have this camera, the Olympus E-620 together with the Olympus OMD EM1-X, and I am extremely happy
I have the EM1-X with the 12-40mm f2.8 Pro. And the Olympus E-620 I have the 14-42mm and the 40-150 both f4 f5.6
Reply. Wow, esa cámara que tienes; la Olympus OM-D E-M1X sin espejo es una fantástica belleza profesional de 20mp.
Translated; Wow, that camera you have; the Olympus OM-D E-M1X Mirrorless is a fantastic 20mp professional beauty.
I also like the older Oly cameras, sadly some of mine are non functional.
People spent hundreds on cameras and don’t understand the fundamentals or understand photography styles. Magically they expect a Leica to make the Steven Mcurry.
Thank you thank you!! 👍
I picked this camera w/o charger for 40 dollars at a pawn shop really great find
WoW..great deal on a great camera
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography yeah I love it i picked it up back in 2019 i still have it and use it on family trips and birthdays, great video about it btw
I love your videos ! I'm watching from Portugal.
Awesome! Thank you!
call me a cheapskate,hate paying $1000 for anything. Thanks for this video.
Hey, with inflation hitting everyone for everything, it's good to know photographers can still find low cost, but high quality camera gear.
Thanks!
Thank you so much :)
Hi Carmine, what an excellent video, I've been considering buying one of the E series cameras, and you know what, I'm looking for a 620. I agree that Olympus produce some of the best lenses on the planet, even their kit lenses are superb. Thank you my friend.
Regards Rob (UK})
Thank you for your kind words 👍
liked and subscribed--was thinking about a full frame-but sheesh (prices and grade). primarily an avaricious collector of both film and digital--this one i'll give a try.
Welcome to my channel :)
I have a question, if while looking at the lcd screen, you see the IS1 or IS2 flashing, does that mean the IS is NOT working????
Hello, unfortunately 😕 my research on the blinking I.S. 1 or 2 does indicate trouble with image stabilization
.however the camera is absolutely still able the produce excellent photographs and videos...
As an owner of a still working and active user of my olympus e-620 I love the camera however I am not sure on one thing and that is software updates the camera is on the original 1.0 software but I'm not sure if any new software has came out or how to put it on the camera do you have any thoughts
(Edit) also where do I get that diffuser

Thanks
One of my cameras
Carmine i was weighing up recently buying one of these e620 or even the e-3 or e-5 purely because as you said they are inexpensive and you can grab a load of the glass quite reasonably priced - i just dont know how capable they are or if for instance the money would be better going to a first generation micro four thirds body such as an EM1 MK1?
Hello, Thank you for watching my video. For your "daily shooter" grab the Olympus OMD EM1 MK1, but for fun, as a secondary camera, the e620 is perfect :)
Hi what was the difference between the e520 and e620?
Here is the info you need; cameradecision.com/compare/Olympus-E-520-vs-Olympus-E-620
