We knew the name since two months but we have an agreement with one of our sources to not reveal the name to soon. But now we can say you two little thing.

1) It will keep the E-nomenclature

2) The name is somehting like  “E-xx” (instead of the xx there is a letter and a number)

The agreement waiting time will be over soon! 

P.S.: We googled for around the web for one month, nobody knows the name! Olympus is doing a very good job!

Some news on the GH1 front:

1) The GH1 release date is June 12

2) Panasonic will produce 2.000 units per month of GH1+Kit lens

3) 500 units per month for the body (black only) model

Sincerly, we don’t know if Olympus will surprise us with some new technolgies or gimmicks. We do not know for example how they want to solve the EVF “problem”. Probably there is no built in EVF, but may they will have some external attachable EVF? We do not know. Our sources won’t or can’t reveal that. Olympus is really good in keeping their secrets… secret.
