The E-volt 300 DSLR, 8 megapixel camera

From DpReview.com;

In the provision of this pre-production camera Olympus provided us
with the option of posting images only if they were downsized to four
megapixels (2272 x 1704). Dpreview has a policy of always providing
unmodified original images from the camera at all times. Because of
the requirement to modify images before posting them we have decided
not to post any images from this camera.

Duh... by now, the web is swamped with full-size E300 images.
Here's a few to get you started:

The images look too noisy even at the low ISO (100). Especially the sky &
horizon. Is it just me? For sub $1000 it is ok I suppose.

Sounds to me like they're less worried than usual.

Most manufacturers don't allow posting of images from pre-production cameras
at all.
