Hi John,
I can tell you, if you are used to Contax quality in body design and material, you will be disappointed with the new Olympus E-300.
The viewfinder is not bad, but comes not close to an N1, Rx et alii. It is designed for the massmarket, similar to Canon 300D and Nikon D70. Therefore there is obviously a compromise between price and the rest of what matters so much to Contax users
