Given that all the Japanese manufacturers have had a bit of a hiccup in their plans due to the well-known external events, none can be held accountable to whatever was said in an interview prior to March 11.Olympus' position on the pro grade m4/3 camera seems very unclear. In an interview recently (can't remember where), they stated that it's 2-3 years away, but that might be the hybrid 4/3-m4/3 camera many are dreaming about. It would be nice if there is at least a "half pro" camera this year. Still, I will probably use both Panasonic and Olympus. They seem to have different strengths.
I don't need to know when Olympus will release its next pro-grade camera, of whatever format. I'm quite happy with the E-5 and my current kit. If I really need a smallish camera any time before they release something new, I'll just pick from what's available. They all perform well enough already ...
