Hi Al,

No, Olympus moved on to the CMOS sensor, like everyone else, in search 
of higher ISO speeds.  The E-1 sensor is only 5MP, but the camera is 
designed for professional use and is a delight to handle.  I'm not 
familiar with any later implementation unless it is the sensor in the 
Leica M8, which, I believe was also made by Kodak, but is somewhat 
different.
