This is the world's first 100% interchangeable lens SLR System designed from day one exclusively for digital photography. The new 4/3 type image sensor is designed to achieve the optimal balance between image quality, camera size and system expandability. This state-of-the-art 5.08 megapixel CCD delivers groundbreaking edge-to-ege sharpness.
E-1 is an uncompromising realization of the full benefits of pure digital technology with body and lenses designed to perfectly match the image sensor. Its Zuiko Digital Specific Lenses deliver higher resolutions, faster aperture speeds and focusing and more compact sizes than equivalent 35mm lenses built for digital. When you need more telephoto in a smaller package, the EC14 1.4x Teleconverter is an ideal choice. With only 1 stop of light loss the 1.4x converter still provides a fast super telephoto for sports and nature photography. Turn your Zuiko Digital 300mm f2.8 into a 420mm f4.0 (35mm equivalent 840mm f4.0). The EC14 is compatible with the Zuiko Digital 14-54mm f2.8/3.5, 50-200mm f2.8/3.5, 300mm f2.8, and 50mm f2.0 (f2.8 and up) lenses and is fully multi-coated to retain the high lens performance you expect. An inexpensive solution for professional-level results.
