Olympus E-300 / Olympus Evolt E-300 Review
The Olympus E-300 / Olympus Evolt E-300 is the second digital SLR camera based on the FourThirds System. The Olympus E-300 / Olympus Evolt E-300 is an 8 megapixel DSLR that looks a little unusual - Olympus have replaced the traditional pentaprism with a TTL Optical Porro Finder, which uses a horizontal viewfinder with four mirrors instead of a prism and enables the camera to have a more compact flat profile. The Olympus E-300 / Olympus Evolt E-300 can be used with all of the existing E-system lenses, flashguns and accessories. It also offers built-in dust protection, often a problem for DSLR cameras, via its Supersonic Wave Filter. So is the Olympus E-300 / Olympus Evolt E-300 an attractive proposition in a sector of the market that is becoming increasingly more crowded? Read my review to find out.

Good well balanced review. I have only found one mistake. You wrote: "The Olympus E-300 is currently the only DLSR to offer a built-in dust protect filter, called the Supersonic Wave Filter." Actually, the Olympus E-1 also has one. This is something you may want to correct in this otherwise fine article.

My E-300 purchased a couple of days ago also gave soft JPEG images. I thought mine was faulty, but I guess it is consistent with your findings. Kind of relief. But I prefer images out of my Oly C400, sharp and nice.
