Olympus: High-end Compact Camera in 2011
Olympus introduced a camera at Photokina novelty - but only as a housing model which lacks the technical components yet. The new, yet unnamed Olympus camera to complete the offer up and go into competition with high-quality compact cameras like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 and Samsung EX1. With the clear and simple case design, the camera announcement is very noble.

Quality parts, few concrete
Among the technical features, Olympus has yet covered. However, we were in talks already learned the first details. So the camera is a particularly strong light zoom lens from Olympus’ Zuiko high series feature - the first time in a compact camera. To the sensor resolution, it is still not available, but the size: it is to be a very large and so powerful light sensor to act, but not one in the Micro Four Thirds format, as it comes in the PEN system cameras. A photograph shoe and a socket for an electronic viewfinder to be found. Wide range of accessories - including the PEN series - is designed to support the high-quality claim
Further details on the new camera will follow later this year. The launch is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2011. A prize called Olympus yet. However, we assume that this will be on the level of similar cameras, and thus between 400 and 500 euros.
