What's Hot

8 megapixel sensor, great image detail within its optimal shooting range.

What's Not

Unacceptable noise levels when shooting at ISO 800 or higher, continuous shot mode superceded by competitors.

The Final Word

The E-300 offers great quality and functionality when used under optimal conditions. However, its performance for action or low-light photography is completely substandard.
