The big digital camera news of the day is the release of the five megapixel E-1 from Olympus. Steve’s Digicams has a first look:
The Olympus E-1 is the world’s first 100% all-digital interchangeable lens SLR system. This camera has been designed entirely from digital technology and for digital photography. Olympus and Kodak have partnered to create the new Four Thirds open standard which matches a high performance image sensor with digitally-optimized “smart” lenses. The lenses are designed so the light strikes the sensor directly, ensuring rich, accurate colors, sharp contrasts and bright images even at the edges.
