It seems the wrong image is being displayed; a copyright violated image removed quite some time ago. I uploaded my own image, but still the old image is appearing. -Stimpy 01:22, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DSLR like BRIDGE CAMERA?

'The Olympus E-10 was ... the first DSLR-like bridge digital camera with a full 4.0 megapixel CCD image sensor.' - is not correct.

E-10 and also E-20 are pure DSLR cameras. 
* small chip (like todays Bridge Cameras)
* fixed optics (like todays Bridge Cameras
BUT: TTL-viewfinder

I don't know whether it is a Bridge Digital or a DSLR, but I would concur that the article does not make it clear which one it is. The article says that it is a DSLR but the Infobox Digicam says it is a DSLR-like bridge digital camera. It should clearly say which one it is. --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 23:27, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ref:[1] '... unique prism for splitting the image the lens is projecting simultaneously between the optical viewfinder and CCD. This allows for both a TTL viewfinder view and live video feeds from the CCD and thus a "real image" view using the rear LCD display.' Gomera-b (talk) 00:51, 13 April 2009 (UTC)--[reply]

I used to have an E-20. My heart says that it was a bridge camera, because it was non-standard in several ways, but my brain says it was a proper SLR. The issue is complicated; it's an SLR in the same way that the pellicle-mirror 35mm SLRs (such as the Canon Pellix and Canon EOS RT) were SLRs, which is to say that although it did not have a mirror it did have an optical through-the-lens viewfinder. The fact of it having a fixed lens is neither here nor there, as there were a number of fixed-lens film 35mm film SLRs as well (Mamiya made a few). The E-10/E-20 also had live view, although it was terrible, but then again lots of modern SLRs had live view as well. In terms of novelty, even as a "bridge camera" I'm sure the E-10 was predated by the Sony F-505 and Canon Powershot Pro 70, which came out in 1999. In fact Olympus' own C-3030Z was a bridge camera, and that predates the E-10 too. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 09:01, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
