Olympus E-1 successor hinting continues

1 vote

Pre-PMA 2007: Exciting news today from Olympus in the shape of the E-410 and E-510 dampened slightly by a lack of solid information on a successor to the professional E-1 digital SLR. Olympus has today issued another coming soon press release which simply says that the E-1 successor will 'debut later this year' and that it will have Live View.

Pre-PMA 2007: A rather stark teaser ad on the Olympus Europe Digital SLR website hints at the announcement of some new Olympus E series digital SLR's on 5th March, just three days before the start of PMA in Las Vegas. The teaser image shows darkened versions of two cameras with '5 March 2007' labels attached and the silhouette of a larger model (the E-1 successor?) in the background.

♦ Olympus E-1 successor; P-1 pictures

1 vote

Pre-PMA 2007: Subsequent to our story earlier today Olympus has now shared some images of a mock-up of the upcoming E-1 successor (codename P-1) as well as the new lenses. As you can see the P-1 will not by default be as tall as the E-1, instead it has a form factor similar to the Nikon D200, although there will be a battery grip available. Also the camera has an articulating LCD screen. Submitted by: surfville - Visited 4 - Comments 0 - Write first comment
