The E-300 is a sophisticated consumer-oriented D-SLR packed with neat features. It's the second Four Thirds system D-SLR from Olympus - allowing for both physically smaller camera bodies and lenses - and provides a value...
Handling, sRGB and Adobe RGB capture, RAW+JPEG capture, Supersonic Wave (dust removal) Filter, customisable exposure steps, good noise reduction and helpful Olympus Master software.
Slow USB 1.1 connectivity, underexposure issues with localised highlights in a scene.
The metering issue notwithstanding, the E-300's image quality is very good, the kit lens is compact and lightweight and the camera packs in so much kit (+/-5 steps of exposure compensation is a very good example) it opens up rich tapestry of photogra...

Pop the E-300 out of the box and you’ll note that the 14-45mm kit lens with this camera isn’t as good as the similar-sounding 14-54mm zoom on the more expensive E-1. To be fair, that lens does cost a hefty £400 on its own, but then you might e...
Easy to use. Produces good pictures.
May have you wishing youd dug a bit deeper in your pocket. Ever increasing noise levels at high ISOs.
Due for replacement or some hefty price cuts. The E-300 takes good shots but its rivals take better...

Recommended sensitivity ISO 100 - 400, images at ISO 800 usable, ISO 1600 not really, Demosaic artifacts on JPEG and Olympus Master processed RAW, Images not per-pixel as crisp as from other D-SLRs (image processing / low pass?), Moire artifacts can be de...
When Olympus first revealed the E-300 at Photokina last year it wasnt too much of a surprise, many of us had been expecting (wishing) them to introduce a consumer level digital SLR with a Four Thirds system mount for some time. Indeed it was my opi...
