Bad news, I really was hoping for an imminent release…but no way!

5 years ago |Hi, thanks for your clarification that it’s not stabilized.
Now m4/3 is such a modern concept (even though it could have been here 10 years ago) it is a pity that for some attractive glass like the 20/1.7 or 7-14 one has to fall back to stabilizationlessness. I know that the new Olympus E-P1 has in body stabilization, but it is not an alternative for G1/GH1 (no flash, no swivel screen, dpreview reported slow AF).
