\"Epson<\/img>Epson is developing technology for use in digital cameras and has not ruled out the future launch of another interchangeable lens model.<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Whether we come out with another version of the R-D1 is a possibility,’ said Rob Clark, executive director of Epson’s European Marketing Division.<\/p>\n

Clark claimed Epson is ‘expert at commoditising a niche [market]’ and said the firm would re-enter the digital camera arena if it felt such a product was ‘commercially viable’.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Amateur Photographer<\/em>, Clark said that Epson marketed the R-D1 digital rangefinder camera as a ‘technology statement’.<\/p>\n

Epson launched the now-discontinued camera in 2004, in a partnership with Cosina.<\/p>\n

‘Since then we have been developing elements that would be used in digital cameras,’ he said, adding that Epson announced development of electronic viewfinder panels in 2009.<\/p>\n

‘There are other elements in development,’ he told us.<\/p>\n

He refused to reveal further details but said Epson is planning to launch 100 new products over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n

Clark indicated that Epson is now playing a waiting game – keeping a close eye on the growing market for compact system cameras.<\/p>\n

He was speaking to AP at the Old Trafford football ground where yesterday Epson announced a sponsorship deal with Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Last year Epson announced\u00a0mass production of ‘high-resolution’ LCD electronic viewfinder panels for ‘mid to high-end’ DSLRs.<\/p>\n

Borrowing technology from its projector line-up, the 1.44-million-pixel electronic viewfinder screen – the first in Epson’s Ultimicron range – was designed to replace traditional optical viewfinders.<\/p>\n

Epson predicted that its use by DSLR manufacturers will lead to ‘smaller, thinner digital cameras’.<\/p>\n
