I always wanted a dust & weather resistant camera. When I bought my first dSLR, I considered the E-1 was out of my budget, so I went with the E-300 instead, at it's launch.
I've come to appreciate...
Pros:
• Small
• Ultra Light Weight (435g+165g=600g total with ZD35mm/F3.5 Macro)
• SSWF-filter for dust reduction
• APM = Automatic Pixel Mapping
• High pixel count sensor using Kodak...
