Two questions, for those who may know

1. Is the Olympus E1 the only DSLR with the ultrasonic
CCD window cleaner?
2. Does the Fuji S3 Pro really have lower noise and greater
dynamic range than any other DSLR?

Thanks for any responses.

yes. er, maybe. Not sure about the E-300

Given its extra 6 mpix dedicated to the high dynamic end fo the scene, I
certainly hope so. http://www.dpreview.com/articles/fujifilms3pro/

(I don't know of any tests dedicated to illustrating this claimed performance).

Cheers,
Alan

The E300/EVOLT has the dust shaking sensor like the E1, but does not have the
weather sealing.

I'd be happy to see a shot where highlights don't burn out white.

Pretty decent, considering it's so inexpensive. More people are
complaining now about "dust motes" with DSLRs.
