Hello Andrew,
I also tend to go for this option. The 620 has a good fold out display, very
nice for cramped models.
I'll have to look for a body only option here. Only "problem" is the 9-18 is
rather dark, but impression is it is a good lens.
The 50 blows the budget however (maybe the 35mm macro) the double lens kit
is ok + 9-18 and the rest for extra battery + memory card.
Tilt-Shift would be very nice, but is only an option on full frame. (I have
the zuiko's).
As for software correction... This is not an option. Shift is way better.
