DCResource Reviews Olympus E-300/Evolt
DCResource have posted their review of the new, competitively priced Olympus E-300/Evolt DSLR.
“It takes about 2 seconds for the E-300 to “warm up” before you can start taking pictures. While that’s comparable to the Digital Rebel, the Nikon D70 is ready to go instantly. While I wasn’t wowed by its autofocus speeds, the E-300 focuses fairly quickly, and faster than most fixed-lens cameras out there. In low light, the EVOLT’s flash-based AF illuminator allows it to focus in almost total darkness—very nice. As for shutter lag, there really isn’t any. That’s why you’re interested in a digital SLR, right?”

A lot of reviews seem to pick up on the slight pause at start-up. What doesn't seem to be mentioned is that this pause, I believe, is when the camera initiates the sensor clean.
Of course it doesn't really matter what the camera is doing if that delay reuslts in a missed photo. Perhaps it would have been more elegant to have an interface option to control how frequently the camera initiates the clean. That is presuming that the lag is solely caused by this feature.
