2006.10.01: Photokina - Olympus special update

Jonathan Puckrin dropped by my studio and convinced me to post up the following photos from the Olympus Photokina booth. He felt that the shots of the new Olympus pro dSLR mockup were better than those he had seen online before and he had never seen the 2002 E-1RS mockup which would eventually become the Olympus E-1 which was Olympus' first interchangeable lens digital SLR using a completely new lens system and sensor format.

Anyone shooting Olympus dSLRs for anything but portraits will likely find the irony I found in this sign.

A mockup of what the Olympus E-1 may have become.

Here is a top view of the "E-1RS" mockup. Jonathan nearly vomited at the sight of the ISO and white balance dials at the top of the camera. Hahah, almost looks like Sigma designed it.

A front view of the next generation digital SLR from Olympus. Notice that something has been whited out on the name plate.

Olympus demonstration of the value of live preview. Here, a bunch of paper cut outs of photographers lined up in front of something stand between you and your subject. With a live preview dSLR you can compose your shot without having your eye right up to the camera thus allowing you to hold your camera over the heads of those in front of you. But what happens when everyone gets live preview?
