Olympus Expands “Olympus E-System” Lineup

[diCam]

The only AF point that matters is the centre one (to me at least).

Better AF speed in low light, and it being accurate without back/front focus issues is more important IMHO.

Agree. I use the center focus point 95% of the time.

cool, 2x convertor with my 150 f2 will give mi super telephoto equivalent of 600mm f4.
no need to break the bank.

Well considering how much the TC14 costs, you might need to break the bank for the TC20. :bsmilie:

It seems to me that the new E1 replacement does not have a dial...

Clearer pics from here.

Check it out - it's got a swivel and tilt LCD Panel too! - sweet...

 

[drakon09]

Hmm, any chance of the E-X to be backward compatible with the HLD-2??? :sweatsm:

The button layout seems pretty similar to the E-1.

And check out the left side of the lens mount, External White Balance sensor!!!

 

[artfakeme]

:think: live view?!?! Just have to get used to it lah like that.

 

[drakon09]

Better than that!

It's LiveView with an apparent full-swivel screen!

Crap, now we need to wait for Photokina! :bsmilie:

 

[ParkertR]

I think Oly will be AF speed king for 2007 until Canon replies with some new technology.

Well excellent news thus far for us Olympians; but my bank manager (if I had one) would bitch because I want (and may I state, quite badly):

The E-510 for the girl,
the P-1 for myself,
the 12-60mm SWD for the girl,
the 50-200mm SWD for myself.

So yeah, I'm in trouble... :sweat:

Not really... you have to take up a part time job, that's all. :bsmilie:

 

[Teo]

Time to laylong all your present E-system and save up for the new E-system..........:bsmilie:

 

[major_tom]

Guys, what do you think the P1 will retail....?
My gut feel between $2800-$3300....for body only?

 

[Blu-By-U]

Please let us know when you start to sell off all your stuff....el cheapo (ie me) is waiting with willing arms to collect them.

From the link to the german site the E1(replacement looks to have a pop-out display tilt and flip by the back layout
