Introduction
One camera that has received a lot of attention is the Olympus E-10. It is the flagship of Olympus' filmless digital camera line and rightly so - it is the world's first 4 megapixel digital camera in the sub $2000 market. It is the sister model to the E-100RS that we reviewed last month. Where the E-100 RS rests slightly more on the semi-pro side of the fence (in terms of picture quality), the E-10 is a full fledged professional contender. At around $2000, that probably doesn't come as much of a surprise, but the question people want answered is "does the E-10 deliver?". The features of this camera are definitely impressive, giving it a unique appeal within the digital camera world. Here is a quick look at what the E-10 has to offer: Specs Features
o resolution: 640 x 480 / 1024 x 768 / 1280 x 960 / 1600 x 1200 / 2240 x 1680 o compression: 2.7:1 / 4:1 / 8:1 Components
Some of the more interesting features that could do with a little spot-lighting: the support for both SmartMedia and Compact Flash memory cards; the optical viewfinder (the electronic viewfinder on the E-100RS was a gripe of mine); the pop-out and rotatable LCD display which allows pictures to be taken above and below a photographers vantage point; 15 JPEG quality settings (5 resolutions and 3 compression settings); and the time-lapse capability, with intervals ranging from 1 minute to 24 hours. The 4x lens (9 to 36mm -- 35-140mm equivalent in 35mm) is built-in to the camera (ie: it is not removable), but it does feature non-rotating 62mm filter threads, which provides the opportunity for some later additions. Overall quite a nice feature-set for a camera in this price range.
