Even before our E3, and even before they can launch E5, did u know there was an E10???!!!

I din know that. Amazing how they name things. I guess this must be the precursor for the E30 then!

-Flash sync speed 1/640 (is there any DSLR can archieve that?)
Shouldn't that read "E-10 was out"? haha. Anyway, I think you'll find that the old Oly prosumers actually resemble the E1 to some extent. I'm not sure about the lack of mirror slap, however. The specs do indicate that the E10 has an OVF. So that means the beam splitter allows a constant (albeit dim) vf image while simultaneously making the image? Wouldn't that be a rather slow solution?
Yes, you are right. A beam splitter has been used. That explain why liveview can be implemented also. However, the trade off is ISO is quite low and noise is higher.
In addition, E-10 does not use phase-detection focus. Instead, it uses infra-red focus and contrast based focus. With infra-red focus, focusing in low light is much better.
Infra-red and contrast based focus. Sounds a little advanced for such an old camera, right?
They had spent so much time getting things right ergonomically, but the E-10 (and E-20) was still like the IS-series, brilliant but flawed somehow.
i believe the E-1 was based on the designs of E-10 and E-20,redesigned here and there to get the E-1

Actually, I think Olympus is only getting it right now, and designs of the E-10/20 and E-1 were WRONG ergonomically...missing the left side of the body, not having the lens centred, etc.
