According to photorumors the EP-3 and the E-520 replacement should be announced in Q1-Q2: “I got some Olympus rumors: in the first half of 2010 Olympus will announce the EP-3 with new lenses. The Olympus E520 will be replaced in the first quarter of 2010.”

I don’t know his sources but we already told you that Olympus will launch new FourThirds cameras soon. Our sources told us that many FourThirds cameras are going to be “updated”. Also the E-3 or/and E-30 could be “updated”.

P.S.: Currently amazon do have only three E-3 in Stock, Adorama has zero E-3 and BHphoto Out of Stock!

For sure both companies will unveil new compact cameras. Olympus T-100 and new Panasonic FH compact cameras are expected to be announced. No information yet about possible FourThirds ot MicroFourThirds camera announcements.

And 43rumors has the first video made with the Samsung NX-10!

UPDATE:
And here the second video…

And finally here we are! On January 4 2010 Samsung will unveil the Samsung NX-10 camera. It will become the first real MicroFourThirds competitor. The big question is: How good will the NX-10 be compared to actual MFT cameras?

As soon as we have first image comparisons and specs we will post it on 43rumors.
