Being my first SLR, this camera is one heck of a good investment! Now I know why so many people talks about the difference, that robust-feeling of holding a well-made SLR compared to even the most expensive point-and-shoot cameras.
With all the reviews here a lot has been said already about this camera. I'd add to those by pointing out one of my favorite feature of this camera: 8 Mpixels!
A lot of people say that 8 MP is not a biggie compared to the 6 MP of the other more famous (pricier) SLR's, but it really helps me to hone my composition skills. How? I just took the pictures and later I study which part of the picture is better so I can learn to compose better for my future shots. If you have only 6 MP to play with, you don't have many leeways in cropping, but with 8 MP, you can do a lot of what-if crops.
Of course, I also have to affirm most of the reviews here that Olympus is as good as and in cases, superior to those big-names SLR's in the only term that matters to me: image quality.
Oh, for reference, I shoot natural landscapes, flowers, and of course, my toddler :)

New to the digital SLR world, even a novice like me has figured out what all the little buttons & doo-dads are for. I have uploaded our pictures from our vacation & was amazed at the quality and how beautiful they came out. The little screen on the camera has great quality & detail for the size. Can't wait to become a pro with this little pint-sized powerhouse!
The BEST Digital SLR! January 15, 2005

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. The focal plane dust removal system is unmatched by Canon and Nikon. 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!
The purchase was from Adorama by way of Amazon.

There are fine reviews already written about this product. All of them are true from my experience. This is simply a great product and a great price.
A strong body, amazing picture quality, very less delay in transferring images to the storage. The leses come with the camera is good enough for most of the cases.
There is a lot to learn, which is same in most of the SLR cameras. But this camera gives several pre programmed options which is good for starters.
I had difficulty taking portraints indoor. That may be the only thing which worries me. But I found this is common in many cameras. It requires appropritae lighting.
Also do not buy this camers to take indoor (birthday, parties etc..) photography. Use point and shoot cameras for that.... But outdoor, this one is truly a great camera.

This camera is well worth every penny. I shoot mostly wildlife and landscape photograpy and both my Zuiko 14-45mm and 40-150mm lenses see plenty of action. The 14-45 is a great all purpose lense that doubles both as a semi-wide angle and a short Telescopic lens. The 40-150 is a short tele that performs as it is supposed to.
Picture quality is the best I have had yet out of a camera. This is my third olympus camera for this reason alone because in the long run this is what matters most.
I compared this to the equivalent Canon, Nikon and Minolta Cameras and am glad i make this choice. The lens kit is superior, the battery life is nearly eternal (I have taken approx 3000 shots and recharged the battery only 3 times), and the camera is very durable.
Olympus also upgraded its software package that has been greatly improved from their previous software.
All in all, this is a steal for the price, especially since the E330 is now on the market.
