I received the Olympus E-300 (EVOLT) for Christmas and I am extremely happy with the camera's performance. The look, the feel, handling, image quality and the many, many features are just what I was looking for in a DSLR. Unlike Canon and the very high-end Nikon 12 Mpixel DSLRs, the Olympus EVOLT uses a CCD focal plane chip rather than a less expensive, noisier CMOS imager chip. The imager chip used is the Kodak KAF8300CE, a high performance CCD. Since one of my intended applications is astrophotography, I am interested in the ultimate in performance from my DSLR. I would recommend this DSLR to anyone interested in having the best!
