I think E-System needs <b>more fixed focal lenses</b> with small aperture number (<b>f2.0</b> is perfect for Zuikos and keeps it reasonable compact). Lenses are what make Olympus famous.

But the big gap I see in the Olympus lineup is a good travel zoom option. Canon and Nikon sell tons of 18-200mm lenses. The Oly 18-180 does not go wide enough and while not a bad lens it does not match the quality of Canon/Nikon/Panasonic equivalents. The Leica branded 14-150 is so expensive that for less than price of that lens (if you can find it) you can buy a Nikon D90, Canon 50D or Panasonic GH1 with that sort lens included for less money. When I am traveling light I prefer a P&S that can fit into a large pocket over a DSLR with one lens. But the appeal and popularity of this class of lens is undeniable and Olympus would be wise to add such a lens to their lineup. The 100mm macro is long overdue.
