You have two more options i) spend a bit more and get a real camera (Canon 20D) ii) For the same price get a Nikon D70 or the Canon Rebel XT - Siddhartha |

It isn't selling well, and has been heavily discounted. |

It is, and isn't bad, but it isn't competitive with the offerings from Canon and Nikon. I think the writer was trying to make a point using humor.

What is not up to snuff that causes the E300 not to sell well?

Image quality, no USB 2.0 or Firewire, Unacceptably high noise at higher ISO settings, No Mirror Lock-Up, Lens selection (the 4:3 standard has not gone anywhere, so do not ever expect a good selection of lenses). Mostly it's that the competition is much better, for not much more money. |
