Olympus's first 4/3 camera, the E-1, built a powerful reputation thanks to such innovations as splash-/dust-proof construction and powerful dust reduction system, while the E-3 made an impact with the world's fastest AF and full-time Live View.
Three years later, the E-5 has arrived. Featuring the new TruePicV+ image processing engine with newly developed "Fine-Detail Processing", the E-5 boasts Olympus's highest-ever picture quality.
To find out what makes the E-5 so special and where the E-System is going in the future, we talked extensively with Olympus development staff and with Mitsuaki Iwago, a wildlife photographer and long-time professional Olympus user who has made many helpful suggestions and participated in many fruitful discussions.
