PMA 2004
Epson, worldwide first "range finder type digital camera"
With PMA 2004 the SEIKO Epson, range finder type digital camera 
reference exhibition. It is the attention machine of camera maniac 
driveling of the Leica M mount correspondence and the past years in the 
design which is similar to &#12467;&#12471;&#12490; Bessa-R well. In the

middle of March formal announcement schedule.

 
With PMA 2004 which is in the midst of holding in American Las Vegas, 
the SEIKO Epson referred displayed the range finder type digital camera 
which corresponds to the Leica M mount. Concerning the specifications 
and the like, it is not released altogether, but that it announces to 
the middle of March formally, you have announced.

The range finder type digital camera which the SEIKO Epson refers 
displays

The product to be inserted by the glass case, &#12521;&#12452;&#12484; 
corporation make Hektor and the like of the past years and also the 
exhibition in the acrylic case. Design has been similar to Bessa-R of 
&#12467;&#12471;&#12490; well, design of the especially finder section 
is the impression which was said almost that way. However, some this one

somewhat large pattern impression. Though, if the range finder type 
camera where the flange back is short to seem depth we are finished in 
the compact, to consecutive digital single-lens reflex compare portable 
characteristic probably will be much better.


Becoming one important point in the appearance aspect, the analog meter 
which is arranged on product top. With the design as in the chronograph 
which the clock manufacturer seems, status such as the battery remaining

amount it has become check possible. With this analog meter, "the analog

&#12387; &#12413;" those where it has engendered, are the film 
advance lever. Though in just the digital camera, the expectation where 
it is not the case that it is used in the film hoist. Perhaps, shutter 
charge, those which are done with the film advance lever it is presumed.

The analog meter which is arranged on top. How film advance lever!

As for liquid crystal display the rear at size about of 2 inches, small 
EPSON logograph enters into liquid crystal panel lower part. As for the 
EPSON logograph in the exhibition machine at only these 2 places, 
furthermore as for the liquid crystal panel because it is possible, to 
turn over, if the liquid crystal surface has not appeared in the chart, 
being EPSON make you do not understand. When you turn over, because the 
electronic operation button hides, it stops completely insisting the 
fact that it is the digital camera. Furthermore, product name logograph 
was not stamped. Furthermore, also the electronic dial was visible in 
position of the film rewind lever.

As for liquid crystal panel rear about 2 inches. As for small EPSON 
logograph charm. If the liquid crystal is turned over, "the digital 
camera it seems," it becomes not to go out

So far, if as for the digital camera of range finder type there is no 
thing which is sold and the knitting machine is formally announced, it 
probably becomes the worldwide first real range finder type digital 
camera. It is the camera whose hobby characteristic is high very, but 
when you think of that recently the old camera has become popular, it 
may become funny existence. In order to check, the focus of the old lens

in such as old camera city, perhaps the maniac who carries about this 
product large number reaches the point where it frequents.


Furthermore price, altogether there is no either announcement of the 
sensor and the number etc. of pixels which have been used. Simply, 
because the lenses for 135 format are used, as for using the sensor 
above APS-C size you probably will not be wrong. With the proper line, 
adoption around the SONY make 6.1 Mega pixel sensors which do outside 
sales at APS-C size is powerful.
