Sincerly, we don’t know if Olympus will surprise us with some new technolgies or gimmicks. We do not know for example how they want to solve the EVF “problem”. Probably there is no built in EVF, but may they will have some external attachable EVF? We do not know. Our sources won’t or can’t reveal that. Olympus is really good in keeping their secrets… secret.

Someone told me Olympus called the prototype camera of the next E-3 successor … E-3 markII ! Probably it will not be the final name of the camera they will show us this year. But may this is one more proof that the camera will be an evolution and not a revolution. We still believe there is a good chance to see a new nomenclature.
Good moring everyone!
