We did it! The first real proof the E-P2 is coming!
Found on the Olympus China website!!!!
http://www.olympus.com.cn/product/prodetail1.aspx?redirection=final&res=639
P.S.: Thanks ALI for sending the link!
UPDATE: We tried to find some pictures…no way! Firefox has some problem displaying the E-P1 and E-P2 site. Try to open it with Explorer or Safari.
My question: How much time will it take until Olympus will remove the site? ;)
UPDATE2: We will continuely update this post if we find something new!
Where is the E-P2 image? :(
If you try to open the link “http://www.olympus.com.cn/issue/product_html/” you will see nothing. You can also try to change the link like “http://www.olympus.com.cn/issue/product_html/e-p2.jpg” but there is nothing to find here.
UPDATE3: Our sources do confirm again. Do not expect the Olympus E-P2 to be announced on October 31. They will announce the camera later…
UPDATE4: The name “E-P2” suggest that the E-P2 could be very similar to the (in design and size). And it is very likely that it will have an external Viewfinder.
UPDATE5: If you search for “E-P2” inside Olympus Europe you can read the following text under one of the results: “EP-2 E-System Advantages Easy Operation Image Control Image Processing Engine Image Stabilisation Live View Reliability…”
Anyway if you click on the text it links you to eye cup :(
Check it out for yourself: http://search.olympus-europa.com/query.html?col=coll01&qt=e-p2&charset=utf-8&rf=0&ref=&jspath=www.olympus.co.uk%2Fconsumer&cmid=
UPDATE6: The website is still online. In the meanwhile people sent me pictures of E-P2. They are all fake and that’s why I do not post them.
UPDATE7: Now the page has been removed!

Price drops and rumors:
Many people sent me mails saying there is a price drop on the Olympus E-30, E-P1, E-3 and E-620. I really don’t know if that is a sign that new stuff is coming:
One: because price drops are normal and sometimes after a short price drop the price increases again. Do you need an example? 2-3 weeks ago we told you there has been a price drop of the Olympus E-3 in Germany. After that the price has gone up!
Take a look yourself (source: idealo.de):
Two: In case of the E-P1 I could also imagine that they are selling so many cameras that a price drop is logical (more you sell more lower the price of the camera)
Price drops are not a garantee for new stuff coming!
—————————————-
Deals:
A lot of people also send me daily information with deals or “this camera is in stock here and here”. I really do not know how much of this infos I should post. The problem is you are all from different parts of the world and probably a French visitor doesn’t care about amazon US deals and a US visitor is obviousily not interested in french deals. I am going to write less “deals post” starting from today.
Anyway I have a solution! I am completely redesigning the website right now (and it will take minimum one month until the new site is online). I will add a separated “deals” section with deals divided per countries. Everybody can have deals information for their own country without reading the one from different countries. I will need your help. You can send me your “In Stock” informations or “special deals” information. It add’s some job for me -> translated….one more weekend work;) but I hope you will find this section usefull for you!
cheers!

Photorumors received a tip “that Olympus distributors have informed some dealers about an upcoming Olympus EP-1 price drop.”
Are they making “room” for the new Olympus MFT?
Anyway coming back to the reality no price-drop has been noticed yet! Not in Amazon
Read the article in spanish or very bad (and sometimes funny) english google translation.
The most intesting points are:
“The budget and resources are limited, so you have to prioritize, and now is the time to focus on the Micro Four Thirds” -> No more FourThirds products?
“Removed the mirror, it seems logical that the next victim will be the mechanical shutter…” -> Cameras with electronical shutter in 2011?
Ships from and sold by Amazon.com!
