Adobe will release CS 5 on April 12, 2010 (photorumors)

Since yesterday we know that a new Olympus camera is going to be announced early in April (probably on April 2). The first unconfirmed rumor suggests that it will be a new entry level FourThirds camera. Even if you are not interested in such a camera, this camera is much more important than we could imagine. For many reasons:
1) In a few months MicroFourThirds changed the whole Olympus product strategy. What kind of influence will this have on future FourThirds cameras? For example: Will the next FourThirds camera have video?
2) What kind of improvements will the next FourThirds camera have? It will be interesting to see how Olympus improved the processing engine, the image stabilization and many other apsects of the camera. Some of these improvements could be implemented in future MicroFourThirds cameras.

Can’t wait to know more about that camera!

Did you really believe that now that PMA is finshed you (and I) could finally take a break from rumors until Photokina in September? :)
I was just told that Olympus will announce a new camera (or more cameras?) soon (probably early April). That rumor comes from my best sources!

UPDATE: FT2: A new unreliable source told me there will be a new FourThirds camera on April 2th. Could be the new E-460…

I have no “confirmed” details about the camera but as soon as I have some I will let you know!
