Olympus will launch five new digital SLRs this year, the first of those being the new prosumer class 12.3 megapixel E-30.
The new E-30 will be made available in a variety of kits with a 14-42mm lens or the new 14-54mm f2.8-3.5 II prosumer lens. Five different camera and lens bundles will be available.
New features include an in-camera “photoshop”, a 270 degree swiveling live-view LCD, and with certain lenses, the fastest autofocus in the industry. The viewfinder is said to be much larger and brighter than the first generation E1/E300 and the image quality has “improved considerably.”
The Asian lady pictured is strictly for beautification and will not be included in any kits.
I thought everyone would want to see a video of 10 University of the Arts photography students using Olympus Digital SLRs with In-Camera Creative Functions – Art Filters, Multiple Exposure, Multi-Aspect shooting:

Video says that there’s a Get Olympus group in Facebook with student outtakes showing what the images look like. Just joined.
