LCD, providing instant gratification to consum- ers in 1995. With the second plateau of adoption in 1996, Olympus set out to move digital cameras away from being just novelty products for viewing images, to products people could actually benefit from, by providing the industry’s most regarded “optical path”.

2.1 MP to 2.5 MP and has shown an average of 45% growth over the past five years. Olympus has pushed this resolution ceiling for the second year in a row from 2.5 MP as seen in the C-2500L to 4.0 MP as seen in the CAMEDIA E-10 Zoom SLR.
Joel Meyerowitz a professional location photographer based in New York comments on the resolution and image quality of the CAMEDIA E-10 SLR: “From what I‘ve seen of the E-10, it’s brilliant and its images are sharp. Its images are also very balanced.

Extraordinary Dispersion Glass, 4x Zoom, 9-36mm f2.0~2.4 Lens The CAMEDIA E-10 Zoom SLR lens design is one of the most impressive attributes of this camera. It features include all glass, all multicoated elements with extraordinary dispersion (4 elements in 11 groups, with 2 aspherical elements), a seven bladed aperture and is a 4x zoom of 9-36mm (35-140mm equivalent).

In keeping with the goal to provide an SLR that is similar or better than a professional film SLR camera, the manual focusing ring on the CAMEDIA E-10 Zoom SLR feels like a pro quality lens focusing mechanism. It racks quickly and precisely. There will be occasions when manual capability becomes necessary such as shooting through a wire fence or opaque objects.

Traditional Lens Designs Even Light Dispersion to the Camera’s CCD Another stellar attribute that sets CAMEDIA E-10 SLR’s lens apart from nearly all others is the lens’ ability to send light (photons) via concave elements frontally to the CCD sensor rather than at an oblique angle as with most lens and CCD designs.

The CAMEDIA E-10 SLR has newly developed dual autofocus systems that work in tandem with each other. For moving quickly from near subjects to far or vice versa, Olympus provides a patented IR (infrared) active focus system and for fine-tuning of the subject, the TTL (through the lens) passive focus system is provided.

A true photographic instrument should give a photographer instantaneous, mechanical like results. Olympus knows this and has gone to great lengths to hurdle this problem. The CAMEDIA E-10 Zoom SLR now provides a shutter release lag time of less than 100 milliseconds. This means no more having to anticipate the shot and guesswork.

The CAMEDIA E-10 Zoom SLR also has an exposure compensation adjustment that offers a wide range of adjustments from -3 to +3 EV in 1/3 EV increments. The CAMEDIA E-10 SLR’s metering system can be set to Digital ESP (a matrix-multi-patterned metering system), 1.6 degree Spot, or Center-weighted, depending on the type of subject and the desired exposure effect.
