Hot on the heels of the announcment of the Olympus E System DSLR at PMA 2003, the Four Thirds website has been opened. The website gives a brief insight into the the thinking behind the system which “establishes a new common standard for digital cameras”.

“In addition, the 4/3-type image sensor has 4 to 5 times the area of a 2/3 or 1/1.8-type image sensor, giving the Four Thirds System the potential to equal or even far surpass the resolution of 35 mm film cameras.”

I guess we’ll have to wait and see if this potential is realised…
