Olympus Corporation is pleased to announce the development of a three-dimensional compression molding process for wooden materials.
The new process draws extensively on Olympus expertise in precision metal-forming technologies. The processed wooden material has the feel and grain pattern of natural wood, but is much harder than engineering plastics such as ABS and polycarbonate resins*. Strong enough to be used to create the outer casings of electronic products, the material can enhance the aesthetic value and pleasure of ownership that those products provide. [Read more…]
Olympus has announced a new ten megapixel compact digital SLR with the retro-good-looks of past Olympus film SLR’s,the E-400.
Other headline features are the Supersonic Wave Filter for dust reduction, a 2.5″ LCD monitor, three frames per second continuous shooting and an easier to use interface. In addition there’s also a new Zuiko Digital lens, the 14-42 mm F3.5-F5.6 which is set to become the E-400’s kit lens.
The slightly odd, sad news, for many of our readers is that this camera will not be available in North America (news I’m sure that will go down like a lead balloon on our forums). That makes it the first digital SLR not to have a worldwide release, so get ready for the grey imports. [Read more…]
Next up is the new flagship of the Mju (Stylus) range, the Mju 1000, which boasts 10.0 million pixels and full resolution sensitivity of up to ISO 1600 (ISO 6400 at 3 million pixels). The weatherproof Mju 1000 also sports a 3x zoom lens and 2.5-inch LCD.
With the introduction of the Olympus µ (mju) 1000, even the most demanding of photographers will be delighted to take pictures packed with 10.0 million pixels worth of detail, using a camera they can simply slip into their pocket. The Olympus µ (mju) range is well known for cameras that push the very boundaries of technical achievement, without skimping on the style. [Read more…]
Those of you with an adventurous (or just clumsy) side will be pleased to hear that Olympus has updated the shockproof and waterproof Mju 720 SW. The new Mju 725 SW is now waterproof to 5m, can survive being dropped 1.5m, and features the same 7.1MP resolution and 3x optical zoom as its predecessor.
With today’s hectic and active lifestyles, photographers need a camera they can truly rely on when the going gets tough. Luckily, being waterproof to 5m** and shockproof to 1.5m*, the µ (mju) 725 SW can pretty much shrug off anything that life throws at it. When Olympus introduced the innovative µ (mju) 720 SW – waterproof to 3m – at the start of 2006, it looked like a tough act to follow. However, the new Olympus µ (mju) 725 SW is even harder, being waterproof to a greater depth of 5m*. [Read more…]
Oympus has announced a raft of new models in its FE, Mju (Stylus) and SP ranges. First up is the replacement for the SP-500UZ, the SP-510UZ. Aside from a silver paint job there’s a resolution increase to 7 million pixels, and several enhancements, including sensitivity up to ISO 4000 (1600 at full resolution).
With an Olympus SP-510 UZ by their side, photographers need never miss the action again. Thanks to its powerful 10x optical zoom lens (equiv. to 38-380mm on a 35mm camera) they’ll be able to reach out to distant subjects and bring them in for closer scrutiny. The 7.1 million pixel resolution means that every detail will be there to see. Should anyone need to delve deeper still, in 3.0 million pixel resolution, a Fine Zoom option can increase the magnification of the optical zoom to a phenomenal 15x. Nothing escapes the gaze of the SP-510 UZ, even when the sun starts to set. [Read more…]
