The long agony has finally ended or so it seems from the reports coming out from the PMA 2007. Ever since Olympus launched the E-1 back in 2003 and caught the world by storm, Olympus fans (myself included) have been waiting for its successor. This is especially in light of new SLRs from gimmicks maker Nikon and Canon. Unlike these unworthy competitors, Olympus does not believe in making slight improvements (eg upgrade from 5 megapixels to 7 megapixels) and thereafter launching a new model to squeeze dry their fans.
As such the new successor is eagerly anticipated (after 4 years). The previous range of lenses has produced superior lenses and has won over many new fans but lost some as the successor has not arrived despite many speculation.
I do agree that the E-1 is lacking behind (after all it has been 4 years) as the N&Cs have been very diligent (and profitable) in releasing new models every 6 - 9 months.
Fret not, the new model (and worthy successor) has arrived. The wait is finally over.
