Plans by Olympus to launch a new lower-end DSLR were spoiled today by a collection of nondescript photos at a dealer. Likely a scaled-down version of the E-620, the E-600 spotted by a DPReview forum member would have the former's swivel LCD and would inherit other features from previous cameras, like Art Filters and in-body image stabilization. What else has changed isn't evident as there have been no labels or other signs to accompany the retail display.

There aren't any signs of how soon the E-600 would ship in the US or else that it's a region-specific model, though Olympus normally makes its entire lineup available worldwide. It's also a mystery as to whether the new camera would signal an end to the E-520.
