Olympus has announced that the eight megapixel EVOLT E-300 will be priced $999 for a kit including the body and a 14 - 45mm lens. The E-300 is the first 100% digital-from-the-ground-up consumer SLR and the second Four Thirds System camera from Olympus. While traditional SLRs use glass prisms, the EVOLT uses a sideways swinging mirror system and, to reduce the effects of dust on the CCD and to improve the resultant image quality, features Olympus patented technology first seen on the E-1, the Supersonic Wave Filter.
