eK-gadgets info

Olympus is showing off two prototype cameras at the big Photokina show in Germany, and they’ve let out a few details today. If I can find some more details on these two, I’ll update the news item.

The first camera (which has no name yet) will bridge the gap between the E-520 and E-3. Olympus uses the phrase “Creative Photo Expression Function” a lot in the press materials, though I’m not exactly sure what that means. Here’s some more concrete information:

• World’s fastest autofocus system (11-point)
• Image stabilization with 5 steps of compensation
• Splash and dustproof
• 1/8000 sec max shutter speed
• Rotating LCD display
• High speed contrast detect AF with face detection
• Ships in the first quarter of 2009
