Hint....if it has an EVF, it is not an SLR (single lens reflex). If they make a camera with an EVF that takes interchangeable lenses, you can bet it won't be anything other than a bridge-type camera. In other words, nothing advanced users will take seriously.
Ever tried panning or shooting a subject moving faster than a slow walkwith an electronic viewfinder? The lag gives you motion sickness. It's the last type camera I'd ever be interested in buying. Today an EVF would be a step DOWN, not up.The technology simply is not good enough yet to be a viable alternative in an advanced camera a professional or serious amatuer would choose to work with. There are so many other things Olympus could add to their current line that would be of more use, like a live histogram in the viewfinder instead of the exposure compensation bar orimage stabilization in the body for justtwo.Not that we'll get either.... |

Here is what we are all going to get:
Olympus' version of a camera using Sony's R-1 chip, just as they did with Sony's F-828 8 MP chip two tears ago. ( and the reviews indicate they did a better job than Sony with Sony's 8MP chip). If they include a good buffer where you won't have to wait for 3 to 4 raw & jpeg shots, PC sync, Excellent auto focus, they will succeed. Anything else and their bottom line will weaken more than it is today. I hope they do it right. Regards, Nicholas |

Now what I'mhearing sounds intriguing:
It's a 8mp New hybrid CMOS sensor Improved high ISO performance Positioned as mid-range Around USD 1000 Optical VF Tiltable LCD ala 8080 2.5 inch screen No swivel Live preview Worldwide unveiling Jan 26, in stores March E-1 successor after 2nd half of year How they get the live preview on the back screen is what will be interesting. Do they raise the mirror, use a pellicle mirror, or is there some new technology they're using that we don't know about? |
