To those who still think that more 4/3rds stuff is coming up, though Olympus has provided already plenty of evidence to the contrary, here's the latest solid as solid can be evidence:

Specifically slide 8:
The E-5 is a stop gap until the pro-pen comes out in a couple of years. That means 2-3 years from right now (their words). I was expecting a pro spec coming out now this year (year's end). On the other hand I would expect the pro spec pen to be quite something.
To be honest, as long as the current lenses can be used, I wouldn't sweat if I was keeping my lenses and had (or not) an E-5. But wanted to point this out because I still see people who think that line is carrying on.
Olympus mentioned in another interview that making the 4/3rds lenses work in micro four theirs well is one of their top priorities. As long as they honor that, I wouldn't worry about my 4/3rd lens collection.
