Zwłaszcza to
Czyli coś o następcy E1 na PMA, a także inne wieści na temat modeli. Fajny tez jest kawałek o stabilizacjiKod:Amateur photographers and specially professionals didn’t expect a change in the E-300 series, but in the E-1... I think you know this… # Yes we know, obviously... Many people ask us why we don’t put an 8mpx sensor in the E-1 body and throw it to the market. But is not so easy. We must consider all the pieces as part of one system: sensor, firmware, processor, hardware... and it must work all together. This is how we see it. But you cannot wait much more time... # Yes, we must say something about it in the next event, maybe PMA... You must “say” or you must “present”...? # Say. What is the feedback you have about the needs of pro photographers regarding the design of the new professional camera? # (Smiling) Sports shooters ask for more speed and more focus points, and the new camera obviously will have. There are not many concerns about the body. Wedding and studio photographers are quite happy with the camera. Are you tied to Kodak sensors or maybe the new camera will have a Panasonic-Matsushita sensor? # No, we are not tied in any way with a sensor manufacturer. We are seeking suppliers for this component in many directions, any you must not think only in big names, we are very interested in some little companies that are making very interesting advances in sensor development. And what about image stabilization? # Stabilization is one of the big points for all camera makers nowadays, and for Olympus too. But if we take a look to the current map of Zuiko lenses we see clearly a big effort in tele lenses, with a lot of really good and expensive stuff. You cannot start now to duplicate all this lenses with stabilizated versions, it would be absolutely anti-economical... You must be working indeed in body-integrated stabilization! # (Laughs) Ha, ha, ha!!! That’s a quite logical thinking, but I cannot talk about it... Have you considered the production of a module of stabilization between the body and the lens, for example integrated in a teleconverter? # No. Now we have an E-X line for professionals with E-1, an E-XXX line for starting amateurs with E-500. The E-XX line for advanced amateurs will start at the same time of the new professional camera or maybe sooner? # We can not say the plan itself, but we are considering also the middle class for E-xx. Thank you very much, Terada San.![]()
