The Olympus Evolt E 300 is a 100% digital SLR camera that eliminates any photographic limitations. A powerful 8 megapixel CCD combines with interchangeable Zuiko digital lenses, our exclusive Supersonic Wave Filter, and other cutting edge technologies to make for world class images. Advances in design make for a durable and portable compact camera you can take and trust anywhere. It features impressively fast shooting and operating speeds that ensure you never miss a photo op, and the ability to switch lenses and add flashes so you never miss a beat.

Image Quality
Along with the advantages provided by the 8 megapixel Full Frame Transfer CCD and Olympus's exclusive dust eliminating Supersonic Wave Filter, images captured with the Evolt E 300 benefit from a number of additional technologies as well.

The included Zuiko 14 45mm f3.5 5.6 digital SLR lens (equivalent to 28 90mm in 35mm photography) is perfectly matched with the 4/3 type image sensor to deliver light more directly to each of the imager's pixels. Its 3.2x zoom covers a broad range, with close ups coming out crisp and clear as near as 15 inches/38 cm. A new multicoating minimizes ghosting and flaring, while the sturdy metal lens mount ensures rugged durability. Features 12 elements in 10 groups and a weight of just 9.98 ounces/285 grams.

Furthermore, the camera's TruePic TURBO image processor offers significantly improved image quality and combines with anti blooming technology on each pixel to eliminate undesirable artifacts, moiré patterns, and other aberrations that can appear.

Dust Free
Dust has long been an issue in digital photography. The Evolt E 300 features Olympus's exclusive Supersonic Wave Filter that dramatically reduces dust and other particles that settle on the image sensor. Located between the shutter and the CCD, the Supersonic Wave Filter uses high speed ultrasonic vibration to cause dust and other microelements to fall off and be collected and held so they don't affect photographs. This filter vibrates at 350,000 times per second and is automatically activated upon powering up the camera (or manually via the menu) to render dust harmless. This unique technology provides both the freedom and comfort to shoot and interchange lenses with the confidence that your images won't be damaged or ruined by dust ever again.
Built In Pop Up Flash
This new flash design allows close up flash photography without the typical "lens shadow." The flash housing pops up and then forward to better illuminate subjects when using a wide angle lens at close shooting distances.
High Speed
Don't you hate shutter lag? Put an end to annoying waiting times with the high speed performance of the Evolt E 300. Because it's equipped with our TruePic TURBO image processor, the Evolt E 300 is able to deliver fast image data processing for the files generated by this powerful digital camera. TruePic TURBO also has a huge impact on overall camera responsiveness as it accelerates the camera's startup time, decreases the shutter release lag time so you can capture images more rapidly, and provides quicker image playback for instant gratification. The Evolt E 300 also lets you capture fast paced action with a quick 2.5 frames per second burst mode, and keeps you shooting fast for longer periods of time with its 64 MB image memory buffer and separate working memory for camera controls.
Scene Program Modes
Ever wonder how to achieve the results you want without complicated and time consuming camera settings? The Evolt E 300 lets you choose among 14 shooting options so you can concentrate on your composition and leave the settings to us.

Durability
You can't achieve high performance without a highly durable camera. The Evolt E 300 is built to keep you and your images at an optimum level no matter where or when you use it, due to its sturdy and reliable design. An aluminum top cover provides added protection for the camera while giving it a sophisticated feel. The die cast aluminum chassis provides a strong foundation for a camera that can be used in all kinds of conditions. The metallic lens mount is further evidence of the camera's ruggedness while also supporting the use of interchangeable lenses, up to the largest telephotos in the E System family. It boasts a durable shutter. And its exclusive Supersonic Wave Filter repels dust and debris from the Evolt E 300’s 8 megapixel CCD so each and every image you capture is crystal clear and aberration free, just as you saw it through the lens.

Size
Utilizing new concepts and new technologies, the Evolt E 300 boasts a radical new body design that makes it incredibly comfortable to hold and impressively appealing to use. Most digital SLR designs are based on traditional 35mm camera models. But innovations in digital photography have enabled us to provide an innovative design that stands out from the rest. Eliminating the bulky pentaprism commonly found on top of traditional SLRs, the Evolt E 300 incorporates a new and exclusive Olympus TTL Optical Porro Finder coupled with an exclusive side swing mirror that enables the unique flat top appearance to be realized and increased portability to be attained.

5.0 out of 5 stars It'll grow on you, June 29, 2005
This is the latest in my journey through Olympus Digital Cameras
(D340R, 460,560,2020z, 5060 some of which I have reviewed on Amazon). The choice of the E 300, used for some commerical work I do, was not so easy because I have a bag full of Pentax K lenses and was mightily tempted by the Pentax digitals. But, having batteries, familiarity with the menu system, and really very good experience with Olympus products and service over the years, I took the plunge and got the E 300 and its kit lens. Then got a K mount adapter for my Pentax lenses and set to work.

Ok, there are some quirks and I will get them out of the way:

a slight magenta cast to some greens, easily fixed in post processing or fiddling with WB, and the noise reduction system can just slightly dull grass in photos, also easily fixed

now and then a bright spot will fool exposure slightly when using the full screen sensor (I've learned to use the center weighted and spot meters to take care of this)

I am not overly impressed by the lcd, which doesn't seem to have the brilliance of the one on my 5060.

I wish Oly had added an xD slot for those of us with a collection of these cards, purchased for use with older models

Now to some good stuff:

don't worry about some reviews claiming the camera is noisey and doesn't like 800/1600 ISO. I get fine results, which are easily fine tuned in Photoshop Elements, Neat Image or other programs, and which can be helped mightily by using a wide aperture prime lens at 400.

colors are brilliant and resolution sharp

the Oly jpg algorithms are very good, meaning that for most 'normal' shooting one can be perfectly happy using the best HQ mode lots of testing on my part discerns very little visible difference with SHQ. This is good to know when traveling or when you want to keep some disc space; triage carefully when you see that once in a lifetime shot coming and then use the highest modes

Raw is very good but by all means avoid the Olympus Master converter, which is terribly unintuitive, in favor of Adobe's.

battery life is excellent with the BLM1 battery (and yes, you can get good backups on that auction site for less than ten dollars each; and they work just fine); I've only run one battery down all the way and that was with multiple in camera editing and a download of 150 shots via USB.

flash is fine (though watch lens hood shadowing at highest aperture); I've supplemented with the FL 36 and FL 20, both of which work flawlessly, even for the brain dead like me. Like many cameras this one will occasionally underexpose so I generally program the flash for a little extra oomph.

the camera feels rugged and well made; a little tank that feels good in one's hand and thanks to lack of prism on top slides easily into a small bag.

the kit lens is really quite fine

K lenses, including a Tokina ATX telephoto zoom work easily and brilliantly, as does an OM lens with adapter.

even for the 'advanced' among us, it is good to have the range of scene modes on this camera. They work.

vastly improved instruction manual.

burns very quickly, even to standard CF cards.

finally, this thing really keeps dust off the sensor. I'm constantly fiddling between lenses in very different environmental situations and have yet to see a spec. Yes, some appear on the outer mirror, but that is easily and harmlessly cured.

Olympus does not have the cache or marketing power of Nikon and Canon. And the sensor on this 4/3d's camera is smaller than those on its main competitors. Yet, I find it to be a solid and
unflashly product in line with most Oly cameras I have owned. This company is good at miniaturization, glass, and compression algorithms. If you need it Oly service is excellent (quick and friendly as I found out when I screwed up something in my 5060, also a superb camera).

I'm sure that there are fine photos to be had with any of the major dslr's on the market and not having a lot of comparative experience with other brands probably don't know what I am missing. But if you want an elegant workhorse with high resolution and brilliant photos give this one a careful look.
