The Olympus E-10 was introduced in 2000 and was the first DSLR-like bridge digital camera with a full 4.0 megapixel CCD image sensor. It has a TTL electronic viewfinder, and, fixed to the body, a 4x optical zoom lens with lens aperture f/2.0-f/2.4.

The E-10 has a strong metallic case, and feels very robust, very different from ordinary digital cameras. A deep hand grip, protruding viewfinder and generally high-quality feeling controls give the camera an authentic professional sensation. It weighs in at approximately 37 oz. (1050 g).

The E-10 was succeeded by the 5 megapixel Olympus E-20, announced in 2001.
