These two Olympus DSLRs are some of the most interesting cameras in my collection. They were made in the years when digital SLRs had not yet taken their definitive form, and manufacturers experimented a lot with the look and design of their cameras. The E-300 has a Kodak CCD-sensor, while the later E-330 was already built on a conventional CMOS-sensor (it was Olympus' first CMOS-sensor SLR). While the E-330 is ergonomically and technically more advanced than the E-300, for example, it has a large tilt LCD screen, the OK button to confirm selection is in the center of the joypad, the E-300 still has a more "expensive" look and more pleasant tactile feel, thanks to the metal body parts and overall monolithic construction. But most importantly, the Kodak CCD-sensor gives more beautiful photos, than CMOS sensor, without much trouble with processing. These cameras have 8 megapixel sensors and even today are suitable for high quality shooting, despite the 4/3 format, thanks to the quality of the Olympus lenses. Notice the Porro prism viewfinder system, and the mirror that shifts sideways rather than upward as on traditional DSLRs. These cameras cost next to nothing today, and it allows you to try these fun, vintage technologies almost for free. I highly recommend you try these cameras, especially the E-300.
