Review on πŸ“· Olympus Evolt E300 8MP Digital SLR Camera with Zuiko 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens: High-Quality Imaging and Versatile Shooting Experience by Roberta Foell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor design, suitable for digital cameras

This is a warning to Revain customers interested in purchasing an Olympus E Volt 300. This may be a great camera, but it has a serious design flaw that should make you pause before you buy and consider the competition. The remote release (RM-CB 1) does not fit in the camera body. You have to buy this HLD-3 "adapter" for almost $100 just to "adapt" the remote shutter release to the camera body. Combine this "surprise" with around $75 for an RM-CB 1 remote release and you're looking at over $175 for a remote release alone. Adding insult to injury is that the 'adapter' is really 'clumsy' on top of that. Before you buy an Olympus E Volt 300, find out what the competitors are offering.

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Everything is fine
