from Henry's Summary: I bought this camera the day it came out at the local store. Dec 13th. Took it on my x-mas trip to England and shot over 200 shots with it. This camera is excellent. This is my first D-SLR but I have used film SLR's and upgraded to the E-300 from an old Olympus C-4000. Image quality is superb, this 8mp sensor is much better than the 6mp sensors in other D-SLR's. Color reproduction is very good, in my opinion better than D70 and D-Rebel. Autofocus is fantastic, fast and does not search at all. This camera is excellent for beginners with 14 auto-programs, and very well designed and layed out for advanced users. Kit lens is very good, and I can't wait to build my lens collection with Zuiko digital lenses. Pop-up Flash is excellent outdoors, worked nearly perfect everytime. A few problems indoors with the flash and WB but I think this was more me figuring out the camera, as many of the shots were also excellent.
I am very happy with my E-300 purchase, and starting to build my Olympus E-system Strengths: Excellent Image Quality
Very easy to use
High Build Quality
Fast Autofocus
Superb battery life Weaknesses: Indoor white balance sometimes comes out yellowish with auto-WB but manual setting works fine Similar Products Used: Never used a D-SLR before this one, but researched all entry level D-SLR's intensively prior to purchase Customer Service: Used Olympus Customer Service on old C4000 and they were great, fast service no problems.
