Looking a lot like the best handling SLR in the Olympus line-up, (the E510/20) Olympus unveiled the E620 today, a camera that they are billing as the world's smallest DSLR with in-body stabilization.
A short list of E620 features includes a larger viewfinder (aprox. the same as the E1), seven point focusing module with double cross type focusing sensors, 4 fps. frame rate, 12.3 megapixel imaging sensor with increased dynamic range, optional battery grip (yeah!), illuminated buttons on the back of the camera, swivel 230,000 pixel LCD, wireless flash, and multi aspect shooting (in Live View).
According to the company, the E620's high-performance 12.3 megapixel Live MOS sensor delivers excellent dynamic range, accurate colour fidelity and utilizes a state-of-the-art amplifier.

Priced at $799 USD. And for another $300 your little pinky can find a home with the optional HLD-5 Power Battery Holder grip.
Sounds like a very capable little performer at a perfect price point.
