It could just be an aspect of certain Olympus products.
I have an ancient Olympus digital (5.3 years old) that does
fantastically well at multisecond times.
Yes, it was post-processed, and yes, it's grainy. It's also at least
a 30 sec, and probably closer to 60 sec exposure. The D10 was
reviewed in, IIRC, 2001, and I've had that particular one since
mid-2003, so the design is on the order of 4 years old, if that helps
assess its level of technology. At one point, it was an $1,800
top-end "pro-sumer" camera. I got it when it had been replaced by the
5 MP line, for a *lot* less. It's one of the last fixed-lens SLR
digitals. A little while later, $2K got you a removable lens digital
SLR.
