Micro Four Thirds System format for digital cameras announced

Olympus and Matsushita have together announced a new digital camera format named Micro Four Thirds System.

This format has been developed to help design smaller and thinner SLR cameras.

This would help the manufacturers to come out with new innovative products to lure more casual photographers to SLRs.

Haruo Ogawa, head of Olympus Imaging Corp’s SLR business division spoke about this new format: “Packing high picture quality into a body thin enough to slide into a pocket. That is the basic concept of Micro Four Thirds.”
