About Olympus EVOLT-300 8 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera

The EVOLT E-300 is a 100% digital SLR camera that eliminates any photographic limitations. A powerful 8 megapixel CCD combines with interchangeable Zuiko digital lenses, our exclusive Supersonic Wave Filter & other cutting-edge technologies for world-class images. Advances in design make for a durable & portable compact camera you can take & trust anywhere. With impressively fast shooting & operating speeds that ensure you never miss a photo op, & the ability to switch lenses & add flashes so you never miss a beat.

Along with the advantages provided by the 8 megapixel Full Frame Transfer CCD & Olympus' exclusive dust eliminating Supersonic Wave FilterTM, images captured with the EVOLT E-300 benefit from a number of additional technologies as well.

The full line of Zuiko Digital Specific LensesTM are compatible with the EVOLT E-300 and each is perfectly matched with the 4/3-type image sensor to deliver light more directly to each of the imager's pixels. By filling each pixel more precisely, the outcome is clear, accurate color, sharp contrast & bright images even at the edges.

These lenses also feature their own internal CPU which allows them to directly communicate with the camera & transfer data specific to the lens being used to the software where corrections of potential distortions occur automatically.

Furthermore, the camera's TruePic TURBO image processor offers significantly improved image quality & combines with anti-blooming technology on each pixel to eliminate undesirable "artifacts", "moire" and other aberrations that can appear.

Moreover, because the EVOLT E-300 is a single lens reflex(SLR)camera and not an electronic viewfinder(EVF) camera, macro, portrait, nighttime and action shots receive distinct advantages in terms of focusing, brightness and speed when it comes to the detail of your images.

An aluminum top cover provides added protection for the camera while giving it asophisticated feel. The die-cast aluminum chassis provides a strong foundation for a camera that can be used in all kinds of conditions. The metallic lens mount supplies further evidence as to the ruggedness of the camera while also supporting the use of interchangeable lenses up to the largest telephoto lenses in the E-System family. It boasts a durable shutter for long-lasting use. And its exclusive Supersonic Wave Filter repels dust and debris from the EVOLT E-300's 8 megapixel CCD so each and every image you capture is crystal clear and aberration free, just as you saw it through the lens.

Because it's equipped with our TruePic TURBOTM Image Processor, the EVOLT E-300 is able to deliver fast image data processing for the files generated by this powerful 8 megapixel digital camera. TruePic TURBO also has a huge impact on overall camera responsiveness as it accelerates the camera's start-up time, decreases the shutter release lag time so you can capture images more rapidly with quicker playback.
