I actually considering to purchase the new Canon 500D or Nikon D5000 for topside. For underwater, I don't think (at least now) I'll move to DSLR - I am still happy with my G9 and SP-350.
Your post make me checked your website - very interesting price. Okay, apart from the price - what's in your opinion to justify me to choose the E-620 instead of D5000 or 500D.
The sensor size of E-620 is much smaller than the above competitors - does it make significant different ?
The E620 is pretty nice, fast and with good features. It has a very good underwater system and housing. There is a tilt out screen on the back that's quite handy. It's shutter is fast and quiet. No video modes though. I don’t find a significant image quality difference due to the smaller sensor. Their lenses are very good and the software on the camera is easy to use.

It depends on your photography. I like close up nature shots and shoot the 70-300mm for that purpose. With the built in image stabilization I can hand-hold shots with that lens and still get pretty crisp results. With the 2x crop factor, that lens is the equivalent of 140-600mm in 35mm terms. The kit lenses are pretty high quality compared to most and there's the cost factor. What I hate is the high ISO performance. ISO1600 is too noisy to use.
