A New Way of Looking at Photography
You’ve asked for Speed. You’ve sought Durability. You’ve requested superb Picture Quality. Now we’re delivering an innovative solution that meets these photographic demands – the Digital SLR System. With a passion for design and tradition for superior optics, we have developed what we believe will be the new standard for next-generation digital SLR camera systems, a standard that measures up to the image results professionals want with the fit-and-feel, ease-of-use and enhanced functionality that allows professionals to capture them...more conveniently than ever before.

Four Thirds at Work
The Digital SLR System starts with a 4/3-type image sensor, more commonly referred to as the “Four Thirds System”. This diminutive sensor allows us to develop smaller and faster lenses and thereby develop cameras with increased portability. This breakthrough also contributes to a new standard of digital SLR camera systems that can feature interchangeable lenses, something previously unattainable with digital SLR cameras based on existing 35mm film SLR lens systems. Such progress will enable users to mix and match lenses and digital SLR cameras from various manufacturers that subscribe to the standard, providing photographers with a plethora of picture-taking options.

Optimal Performance
Along with the Four Thirds System technology, the Digital SLR System features a metal body that ensures peak performance day-in and day-out, as well as outstanding image quality via “Lenses designed to be digital”. These lenses, inspired by the popular E-10 and E-20N lenses, are made specifically for digital imaging so they work directly with the image sensor to capture all the necessary light and information required for sharp, smooth images. And with conveniently placed controls and buttons, the Digital SLR System lets you focus on your subject instead of your equipment.

Coming This Fall!
The concept is clear. The direction is evident. The total, all-in-one digital solution for professional photographers is on its way.
Nothing’s impossible.
