Olympus C5050 is out

Details can be found at dpreview.com.

Summary of changes I found interesting:

raw mode output

CP flash/ microdrive support

button locations have changed, so a different housing will be need

I wonder why this was not announced in the Olympus Japan site..

rumor is Olympus Japan will make a housing for the new Olympus 5050.

Olympus Japan announced the launch of Camedia 4100Zoom yesterday. Strange that Europe is first.

Hi TJO,

Isn't that strange????

From the specification, it seems that c-4100 in Japan is same camera as the C-4000 in Europe and other Asia countries.

Anybody can verify about this.

The strong points for C-4000 or C-4100 for under water, are better Marco, and little bit Wider lens (32mm - 96mm). I think it can fit into PT-010

I compared the spec sheets and they look exactly the same. So they launch their products earlier in Europe?!

Maybe they are trying to make up for all the products they never offered here (like the newer PT housings) ?

Somehow i can't believe that ;D

Sabine

I am sure there are some business decisions behind this Sabine. Perhaps they want to sell off the more expensive E-20s first. Your last post was your 100th! Is there a custom to celebrate this like your 100th dive?
