Camera enquiry

Does anyone know anything about the Olympus E300 8MP digital SLR camera?

The E300 has a relatively noisy sensor (probably the worst of the DSLR's) and reviews I have seen also complain of poor colour balance. I think I may have also read that the sensor is physically smaller than the current crop of 6mP DSLR'S

There is a full review here

The sensor is about quarter the size of a 350D so would expect more noise at high ISO.
