Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 350D due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Olympus E-620 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 350D will be behind in sensor tech.
