As has been reported and discussed here already (thanks to those who
contributed) Oly will release
the new C-2100 Ultra Zoom digital camera in Japan. The German site
digitalkamera.de mention this at
http://www.digitalkamera.de/Info/News/News-en.asp?MIN=0404 ,where it is said
that C-2100UZ is based
on the C-2020Z. They also say that to reduce camera shake the 10x zoom lens is
assisted by an
optical image stabilisation unit. The next sentence is somewhat unclear to me:
--
"We already reported about such a development from Canon (see report of 25th
May 2000); one may
suspect Olympus from using this product in its new camera."
--
What do they mean? Is Oly's new IS system borrowed from Canon? I know that
Canon use this in some of
their lenses, but do they have a patent license on this system as well? And
above all, will this be
utilized to improve other Oly cameras, and if so which?? Myself I'm thinking of
an iS-4000 with
image stabilisation... mmm...
