Olympus E-300The second preview of the new Olympus E-300/Evolt DSLR (UK price £699 with a lens) is courtesy of DPReview.

“The rear of the E-300 features no less than thirteen more buttons, although it sounds daunting the use of these buttons to change camera settings becomes second nature, especially as they integrate nicely with the information display on the LCD monitor. For instance, press the ISO button and ISO is highlighted on the information display (or if off a dedicated selection screen is shown), now just turn the main dial to select ISO. In addition every adjustment (apart from flash mode) is repeated on the viewfinder LCD, so once you get used to the position of controls it’s easy to adjust settings without removing your eye from the viewfinder.”
