Olympus E-1 with FL-36 Flash

Olympus E-1 with FL-36 Flash ... the professional E-1. The most technically sophisticated, computerized digital camera built to date, the revolutionary E-1 is designed to deliver the best digital images for professional photographers today and into the future. It is a dynamic camera that can handle many types of photographic situations and deliver superior results in a wide range of settings, from indoor to studio, fashion to journalism, sports to portrait photography, and more.

The camera features a new, high performance Super Latitude Full Frame Transfer CCD from Kodak, the KAF-5101CE, which delivers the highest dynamic range, lowest noise levels and best color of any camera in its class. This innovative 5 Megapixel CCD outperforms many higher Megapixel count imagers.

In addition, the E-1 utilizes new and existing technologies like the exclusive Olympus TruePic Technology to achieve the highest image quality and most realistic digital photographs. Newly developed Noise Filter technology and the existing Noise Reduction technology produce clear, clean files. A newly developed Supersonic Wave Filter significantly reduces the chances of dust settling on the CCD or image and blocking pixels.

This kit includes FL-36 flash. An external flash unit specifically designed for digital cameras, the FL-36 is equipped with a 1/8 step illumination control for precision shooting, a wide-angle diffuser panel for even illumination with wide-angle lenses, a lockable bounce and swivel mechanism for bounce photography from left-right or top-bottom, and a compact zoom head to accommodate lenses from wide-angle to telephoto.

It can be powered using two AA batteries or one CR-3 volt lithium, and offers impressive control due to its ultra-precision mounting technology that allows it to communicate directly with the E-1. In addition, it is lightweight and compact for desired portability.
