## **Classic OLYMPUS E-300 Digital SLR Camera - Four Thirds System**

This auction is for the **OLYMPUS E-300**, a significant camera in digital photography history as one of the first Digital SLR bodies based on the open **Four Thirds System** standard. Known for its distinctive "E-System" design and compact build for a DSLR, the E-300 features an innovative side-swing mirror system.

### **Key Features & History**

* **Model:** OLYMPUS E-300
* **System:** Four Thirds System (A standard shared by Olympus and Leica, among others)
* **Sensor:** 8.0 Megapixel Full Frame Transfer CCD Sensor (Provides a 2x crop factor, meaning all lenses double their effective focal length)
* **Design:** Features a unique **side-swing mirror (Porro Mirror)** prism structure, allowing for a flatter body profile compared to traditional DSLRs.
* **Dust Reduction:** Equipped with the renowned **Supersonic Wave Filter (SWF)** dust reduction system, a major innovation at the time for keeping the sensor clean.
* **Viewfinder:** Through-the-lens (TTL) optical viewfinder.
* **Compatibility:** Compatible with a range of high-quality **ZUIKO DIGITAL** lenses.

### **Condition and Included Items**

This set appears to be complete with many of the original accessories and documentation, which is valuable for collectors and users of this classic system.

* **OLYMPUS E-300 Camera Body** (8.0 Megapixel)
* **OLYMPUS BLM-1 Battery** (Lithium-Ion)
* **OLYMPUS BCM-1 Battery Charger** (With power cable)
* **OLYMPUS Body Cap**
* **Video/Audio Cable** (Yellow RCA connector visible)
* **OLYMPUS ZUIKO DIGITAL Documentation**
* **Original Manuals and Documentation** (Includes basic and advanced manuals in Japanese)
* **OLYMPUS Master CD-ROM** (Software for image management)

**Condition Note:** The camera body is in good overall physical condition for its age and includes a comprehensive set of original accessories. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a working example of an early, historically significant Four Thirds DSLR.
