Olympus US sent out a Newsletter to confirm that on February 1 the PRO lens prices will increase. If you need one of those get them now at GetOlympus, BHphoto, Adorama or Amazon before the price increases.

Olympus Ambassador Robin Wong writes:

I believe there are many things that should have been improved in modern cameras, including overall camera design, better camera operations without having dozens of buttons and control dials on the camera, having larger more functional LCD screen, direct connectivity to cloud storage, bluetooth connectivity to peripheral devices such as microphones and headphones, better image file format to replace the outdated JPEG format and of course, lastly not having new lenses becoming monstrous in size compromising balance and handling on camera.
