Olympus E-300, The Strange looking SLR Champ!
( - 1/17/06)I just picked up the Olympus E-300 and am very impressed with the camera overall, once I updated to the latest firmware (1.3). I have previously owned the Pentax *ist DS, Nikon D-70, and the Konica-Minolta Maxxum 7D digital SLRs and I think overall the E-300 is a more complete camera. The other cameras had there specific good points, but none were good in everything like the E-300. The 3 point auto focus system is a dream. I prefer this autofocus system to all the others (Canon, Nikon, Minolta, and Pentax). Olympus has defineately proved more doesn't aways mean better. My wife owns the Canon Rebel digital SLR and I think the E-300 is a much better camera overall, especially in the body construction. I also like the boxy shape off the camera. I had a guy comment on the look of the camera just yesterday and he said he like the strange look also. I will say the E-300 is not for everyone, but for me it is just right.
