Digital kamera guide

If you like the style of Harley-Davidson motorcycle brand products, you now can bring that look to your digital camera, thanks to a partnership between Harley-Davidson and Olympus.

Olympus has just begun offering the limited-edition leather camera cases, which feature the silver studs, buckles, and chains common with Harley-Davidson brand items. Harley-Davidson themed leather cases that also fit PDAs, GPS devices, MP3 players, and cell phones also are available from Olympus.

In addition, Olympus has made a few other announcements recently:

• A new beginner-level camera, the Olympus T-100, has been announced, and it will carry an MSRP of $99.99. It's available directly from Olympus and a few other companies. (Compare Prices)
• Another recently announced Olympus point and shoot camera, the FE 4030, is similar to the FE 4020. They differ slightly in the type of image sensors they use and in their lists of scene modes. Both cameras even carry the same MSRP of $149.99. (Compare Prices)
• Japanese group Olympus Corp. president Tsuyoshi Kikukawa told Reuters this week that his company is hoping to expand its market share in DSLR cameras from 5% to 20% in three years, thanks in part to its Micro Four Thirds System lenses and cameras like the PEN E-PL1.
• Fast Company magazine has named Olympus a "most innovative company" in the consumer electronics division.
