I don't use digicams very much and the little I know about them I learn 
here on the list. (I shoot film 99% of the time.)

I read the section you referenced on
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympuse620/page17.asp

and continued reading to the Overall Image Quality / Specifics section 
at the bottom.

There it says
"The only real issue we experienced (and even then, only very 
occasionally), was the E-620's difficulty in capturing certain shades of 
purple. It's an extremely minor complaint (the likelihood of most people 
noticing it is tiny),"

TINY? The reviewer has to be kidding. I'd be really upset if I saw the 
image on the right and the camera gave me the one on the left. It takes 
quite a bit of fiddling with blue hue(+30) and saturation(-30) on the 
camera jpeg to get even close to the "approximation of actual color" 
image. I've never had to make such drastic adjustments on raw print film 
scans to get an image to ~match what I saw. (& I've done a lot.)

I'm certainly not knocking your E620 (or the E20) as your images always 
look fine to me, but the whole thing amazes me.

Am I missing something here?
