Olympus launching E-1 successor on October 17th?

If it feels like we've been here before, you're not losing it. However, it sounds like Olympus' much-anticipated E-1 followup may be (finally) arriving sooner rather than later. DPReview has reportedly "received official word" that Olympus will be launching the E-1's successor -- currently codenamed the EP-1 / E-3, depending on who you ask -- on the 17th of October. Not surprisingly, there's no hard details in regard to the specs, but if this date sticks, we've just over a month to find out for ourselves.

[Thanks, Zo]

Too late Oly.. 6+ years is too long between model upgrades.

Looks like it´s a vapor(hard)ware.. they announced it already but didnt delivered.

A very nice camera but I'm still very happy with my E500. I just wish they would get away from the 4/3rds lens system.

Nice work Oly. Can't wait to see what's on offer.
