Olympus E-300The third preview (!) of the new Olympus E-300/Evolt DSLR (UK price £699 with a lens) is from Imaging Resource.

“The E-300’s user interface is similar to those of the Olympus C-series digicams, with a multi-page menu system that’s easy to navigate. The standard Olympus Shortcut menu screen has been omitted, made unnecessary by the many single-purpose buttons for major functions on the camera body. The menu system is simple to navigate, even for users new to the interface. Menu layouts are straightforward. A Mode dial on top of the camera changes capture modes quickly. Once you get into the Record menu, options are organized by function, accessed by a series of tabs along the left side of the screen. This layout lets you quickly skip to the options you need without sifting through pages of menu items.”
