Olympus to announce E-3
Camera maker Olympus, generally more famous for its compacts, is expected to later today announce the E-3, a successor to its formerly flagship E-1 DSLR. The camera should be premiered at reception scheduled for approximately 6PM Eastern time, to be held inside a New York museum.
No specifications have so far leaked to the press; the E-3 is in any case likely to represent a dramatic departure from the E-1, which originally premiered in 2003, and was limited to 5.5 megapixels. By contrast, the comparable Canon EOS-5D now has 12.7 megapixels. Olympus is likely to infuse the E-3 with features from its recent E-Volt cameras, while pushing specifications to compete with other high-end DSLRs. [via PhotographyBLOG]
