Olympus E-300 ... x - supported memory: CF, Microdrive / The 8 million pixel Olympus E-300 digital SLR has a lean and unconventional form, as a result of replacing the penta prism by a TTL Optical Porro Finder. It combines full SLR performance, perfect handling and a reasonable price.

Based on the FourThirds Standard, this compact SLR model is compatible with the complete range of Olympus Digital SLR-System accessories, including high-precision lenses. The optics feature near telecentric construction to draw maximum performance from the camera's Full Frame Transfer CCD. It incorporates a Supersonic Wave Filter that ensures dust and other foreign particles do not interfere with the function of the CCD. The TruePic TURBO image processor further boosts picture quality and the processing speed.

The compact flash cards are also readilly availible which is something that lets other older cameras down. the camera is not light but not as heavy as others on the market, it is quite well designed menus are easy to navigate however the more novice user would maybe find them a touch confusing. This can be cured by a small amoount of reaserch and plenty of practice taking pictures using...more

Wow, what can i possible say, THIS CAMERA IS AWESOME! My dad purchased this item a while ago now and is still discovering new useul features.
