The latest 24hours have been very busy. I am currently on a trip at the sea and it’s an adventure posting on 43rumors from here. I didn’t expect Olympus to announce new stuff tomorrow. There will be two different announcements on August 31 and September 14. It’s time for a resume of all latest rumors:
On August 31 Olympus will announce:
1) a new [shoplink 14830]E-P2[/shoplink] kit with black [shoplink 14798]17mm[/shoplink] lens and black external flash. A perfect Stealthcamera!
There will be also two new MFT lenses:

It will be available in December 2010 for $899.99
