Olympus has today announced the sucessor to the Olympus E-10, the 5 megapixel
E-20P. The E-20P has the same 4x zoom 35 - 140 mm lens, the same TTL viewfinder
(though now with a focusing screen), RAW mode, noise reduction, pixel
mapping and official support for the 1 GB Microdrive. All of these additions
should add up to an interesting and far improved Olympus 'E' digital SLR.
