I checked the prices in US, UK and Germany and I noticed a price drop in Germany (-100 Euro!).
Two big german online stores are selling the E-3 body for 800 Euros only. Normally such big price drops happens when the camera is going to be replaced.
A german 43rumors reader sent me following graph:

Crazy, on Saturday? Olympus will probably announce the E-P2 but there is also a chance they could unveil classic Fout Thirds stuff. We will see…
This is a fake E-P2 image (source: dpreview)
Photorumors discovered that Olympus is planning an announcement on October 31th. We made a small rumor summary about the future E-P2 (will it be called E-P2?):
Chasseur d’image knows that the E-P2 should be released before the end of the year and it will have an electronic viewfinder. A japanese website claims to know that the EVF will be external (like the one from Panasonic) and the E-P2 should come all in black. Akira Watanabe CEO from Olympus said the next MFT camera will have an electronic viewfinder and faster AF and not get any bigger in size than E-P1. And it will have built-in flash.
If all this rumors are true the E-P2 should probably have following features:
– 12 Megapixel sensor (same as the E-P1)
– Body similar in size and weight to the E-P1 (No grip?)
– Built in flash
– External Viewfinder
– faster AF
– Black only
This camera should become a strong Panasonic GF1
Interesting times indeed!
