Before getting into a in depth comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the E-30 matches up versus the E-300 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus E-30 & Olympus E-300. The entire galleries are provided at Olympus E-30 Gallery & Olympus E-300 Gallery.

Typically, it can be hard to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specifications. The pic here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-30 and E-300.

To sum up, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Olympus E-30 to result in extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The newer E-30 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
