What can we conclude from the E1 successor image ?

What technical features can we deduce ?



I think we can deduce, it has no Live View A mode like the E-330.

Can we say something about the CCD/CMOS/NMOS design ?
Are there more hints, for example in the texts ?

No text, just like that camera...

Sadly not like an E1

One thing can be deduced is that the design is truly ugly. Remember when they had to go back the more traditional look for E500, I am just not too into this kind of design unless they put in some WOW specs... Might have to take a look of Sigma 14D or Fuji S5. Not very happy now...

Olympus is going to make one.

It will use fourthirds lenses.

It has a flash hot shoe.

we will have to wait till 2007 for the specs.

Are you serious? You'd change system because of the looks?

FWIW, I think it looks gorgeous.

Well, I don't have to change the system, I can keep my E-1. The point is we've been waiting for an upgrade for years now, the new e looks like a cripple, unless the form factor is to accomendate some WOW spec. I shall see in few months...

.. the excellent ergonomics of the E1 for something more traditional in style.

Is it because they've come up with something that requires a different body shape than the E 1? Three CCD or interesting version of Live view and/or in body stabilization may require them to move to this style of body.

Or perhaps its because they got burned on the asthetics of the E 300 and think that the look of the E 1 was a problem for potential buyers??

They have certainly seemed to go with a style more like that of the E 400 than that of the E 1 - which would seem to indicate that it's a least partially to keep a more uniform 'look and feel' to their line.

I'd put my money on it being a mostly a bit of A with a bit of B thrown in for good measure...

Not to mention gals are much more willing when one waves a decent camera with a large CANON label on it before their very eyes, no?

yawns

I've always thought camera should not hamper the process of making phots; all other things are of secondary importance.

To me it looks more like a Nikon, at least from the front: it has two "finger" buttoms behind the shutter release and a command wheel below it, just like my Nikons. The only missing thing is the on/off swicth sorrunding the shutter release.

Now from the back, is like a mixed bag... I can't undertand why so many buttoms are below the LCD, I thought they learned a few things with cameras like the E-330 and E-500. Well, it's only a mock up, let's wait and see...

I feel the same, I love the E-1's design. But again, I think it's too soon to judge it, it's just a prototype without external connectors, card slot, battery door and so on. Many things can change until we finally see it hit the street.

Regards.

Sorry, I think it looks good and it looks like a real camera, but thats really a matter of taste, for every design a few people exist which will not like it.
I am more interrested in the technical features.
 
It's a mock up.

Oly will make an E 3 in 2007

This is very good news. Time to celebrate even though we dont have the specs. I believe that we'll be very pleased with the outcome. The different body shape may be due to what is new going into it.

I like it although I doubt very much if WYSIWYG when it hits the shelves. It's too soon to give definitive judgements.

Honestly, some people cannot be satisfied. Going to Fuji? All the best !!

Oly's intention was to communicate nothing about features or specifications, but simply that the new camera is somewhat larger than the E-1. Assuming form follows function, it is reasonable to assume the E-3 has very different internals that the E-1. If the internals were similar, the E-3 would have been completed and on the market a long time ago. If this is truly to be a "flagship" camera, it will have to compete head to head with the flagship cameras of the competition. Consequently, the E-3 may have nothing in common with the E-1 except the lens mount. I think they're calling it "Chapter 2" for a reason.

It may or may not have an array of 3 imaging chips, it may or may not have live view, and it may or may not have image stabilization. It could have all, or any combination of these features. My guess is there are working prototypes with various of these feature combinations. However, the camera may need to be marketed before some of these features are perfected - and therefore must be left out of the final design. Consequently, Oly doesn't want to release specifications because some aspects of the camera are still not perfected. But because the body shell appears larger, it will most likely contain "more" inside than the E-1 - and by "more" I mean more of the technology that is necessary to gain market share against the flagship cameras from Canon and Nikon.
 
Is it just me, but at first looks I like the new disign. Now all I read is how ugly people think it is. I'm holding off final judgement until I hold it in my hands but until then I think its kind of cool.
