Olympus announces the E-5 DSLR with Time Live View system and a completely splashproof and dustproof magnesium alloy DSLR body. Olympus says that they are pairing these technologies with several new features developed for the E-5 camera including:

Superior Image Quality: The E-5 camera achieves the highest image quality of any Olympus camera by pairing a 12.3 megapixel High-Speed Live MOS Sensor with a TruePic V+ image-processing engine that boasts new "Fine Detail Processing" technology for greater detail in the photograph. Optimized to maximize the performance of the Zuiko Digital Lenses, Fine Detail Processing takes digital photography to the next level.
270 Degree Swivel LCD: A 3.0-inch dual axis swivel HyperCrystal LCD with 920,000 dots makes it easy to frame High Definition (HD) videos and still images at any angle from low to high and side-to-side to ensure accurate composition.
Limitless Creativity: Ten in-camera Art Filters including new Dramatic Tone round out this DSLR's impressive feature set. For the first time, photographers can use Art Filters in all shooting modes, program auto, shutter priority, aperture priority and manual modes and movies with expanded control. Both still and movie capable, the E-5 camera offers HD video in an E-System DSLR for the first time.

The Olympus E-5 camera will be available in October 2010 for $1,699.99 (body only).
