I recently met someone who had an Olympus something-or-other (and I happen to think they're doing a better job than Panasonic/Leica at Four Thirds) but it wasn't that much smaller than, say, a D300. It was quiet though, seemingly quieter than the M8 I was using at the time.
[Edit: Yes, I know a Nikon DX sensor is smaller than a Leica M8 snesor, but it's not Leica Digilux 3 small]

Finally, you'd prefer the D300?I'll really take it in consideration thus.
Frankly, my choice would be particularly driven by Olympus lenses' quality and speed... The 2x crop factor could be really a nice advantage when using long teles... How did you find 4/3 high iso noise?
