Olympus E-300/Evolt Sample Images
I completely missed this last week - DPNow spotted an extensive selection of sample images taken with the new Olympus E-300 DSLR, published on the Japanese website DCWatch.
“The selection includes day and night, plus indoor shots taken using ISO settings from 100 right up to 1600. It appears that all the images were taken with the new ‘budget price’ 14-45mm (28-90 equiv) Digital Zuiko standard zoom.
There is also some indication on the same page that the E-300 will start to ship in Japan on 3rd December. Our information is that small numbers will be on sale in the UK towards the end of December.”

You might be interested in this page from Lauri Sippu: http://homepage.mac.com/lsippu/PhotoAlbum43.html

Looks like well-known nature photographer Lauri Sippu (at least he's well-known in Nordic countries) has been giving E300 a go. First image of E300 covered in snow is... quite remarkable. I think you really have to have faith in your camera company when they say that it's "weather sealed"

P.S.
Ok, so Olympus didnt invent the pellicular mirror either, that was previously used by Canon in the Pellix, about thirty years ago. I have no criticism of Olympus. Nor even of their marketing department who have put about this claim. I am just irritated that they not only expect to get away with it, but they do!
