(FT2) The E-P2 will share the same E-P1 body or not?
Just received an email from one of source. He told me that maybe the E-P2 (or maybe it will have a different name?) could be similar in size and form.
UPDATE: The CEO from Olympus already told officially that the next camera will not be that bigger!
As Olympus already told many there will be an electornic viewfinder (and according to forum-fourthirds that will be external)
Surprised? I am!

August 30, 2009 |SO the EP-1 was simply a placeholder to bring something to the market whilst Oly did the research to make a proper m43 camera. That’ll explain the slow autofocus and other issues people have commented on. Still it seems good for what it is.

August 30, 2009 |I’m glad they chose the E-P1 as the base. This means they will have to work a lot on the firmware. The detachable EVF is a good move IMHO. Still I find it difficult to strive to the advanced amateur without a tilt & swivel.

August 31, 2009 |Keeping EP-1′s body shape is good thing. At the beginning I was skeptical about Olympus digital PEN design, but now I see why is this camera so special.
What can be improved in next EP-2?
- definitely a fully black coloured body with rubber stripe across the front side of the camera, no shiny decoration on black one.
- optional OVFs with AF LED (for all M Zuiko prime lenses) and EVF.
- improved AF speed, dynamic range, high ISO above 800 (although EP-1 is very good), even quieter shutter sound.
- new prime lenses at least f2 (or f1.8 etc) for low light situations.
- keep the body small as possible or even smaller than EP-1
- and other stuff I forget to think about

September 16, 2009 |i think they should bring the built-in-radiocontroled flash-interface, that would make me buy the “e-p2″ + external flash, i really like the super-fp-mode on those for 1/60 ex there you can even get some movements in the flashligt, and the possible to do a flash set in a easy way with no cables are very attractiv to me.
