Steves Digicams Previews Olympus E-300/Evolt
The fourth (and hopefully final) preview of the new Olympus E-300/Evolt DSLR (UK price £699 with a lens) is from Steves Digicams. Seems like all there was some kind of embargo on publishing E-300 previews!
“Lenses that are smart, that talk with the camera about their specific optical designs and imaging information. Lenses, particularly zoom lenses have some distortion. This is true of all manufacturers. Zuiko Digital Lenses store data in the header portion of the digital file allowing for software-assisted correction of anomalies including pin cushion and barrel distortion.
Shoot wide open or stopped all the way down and achieve superior results over 35mm film based lenses. Zuiko Digital Specific Lenses are about three times the resolution of ordinary film based lenses.”
