Why the question?

People don’t know what 43rumors means. Adsense displays a lot of crazy advertising and google search don’t know what to do with “43rumors”.

Olympusrumors is far more easy to understand. The problem is that with olympusrumors.com we put the focus on Olympus at costs of Panasonic.

You decide!

The most important statements are:

1) We are planning a successor to the Olympus E-420 and it will be different. (that was all he had to say about that one.)

2) Yes (we are planning to introduce prime lens), but it is difficult to prioritize which ones to make first.

3) No release of either a camera or lens µ4/3 (Micro four thirds) road map.

P.s.: I’m waiting for news about the Olympus E-450 release date. Do YOU know something? ;)
