Olympus E-300 (EVOLT E-300)
The Olympus E-300 (EVOLT E-300 in North America) is a digital SLR introduced in late 2004, built around the Four Thirds System lens mount. It used a porro-mirror finder design rather than a conventional pentaprism, giving it a flat-topped body distinct from typical DSLRs of the period.
Sales data for the E-300 is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from October 2024 sold for £25, which sits at the low end of the wholesale market for early Four Thirds bodies today. With only one data point, that figure should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable median, and clean, working examples with a kit lens may sell for more at saleroom level. Buyers asking what an E-300 is worth in 2026 should expect prices to remain modest given the camera's age and 8MP sensor.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Olympus E-300 worth today?
Based on limited UK auction data, an E-300 body sold for around £25 hammer in late 2024; clean kits with a working lens may sell for somewhat more, but values remain low.
How much does an Olympus EVOLT E-300 sell for at auction?
The one verified UK hammer price on record is £25, which suggests the wholesale auction price for a body-only example sits near that level rather than at retail dealer asking prices.
Is the Olympus E-300 a good value buy?
For its low price it offers a usable 8MP Four Thirds DSLR, but the dated sensor, limited ISO range, and end-of-life service support mean it is best suited to collectors or budget Four Thirds users.
