Olympus to intro new DSLRs...sometime

I HOPE they keep the egonomics of the E-1. It's
far better than other traditionally-shaped DSLRs out
there. People need to feel things more than they do
just look at them when choosing.

Olympus plans two new high-end SLR camera models : Japanese digital
camera maker Olympus swung to a loss in the financial year ended March
after the company slashed prices to cope with competition and spent
5.5 bln yen to restructure its digital camera business. Olympus
reported a full-year net loss of 11.8 bln yen, reversing a profit of
33.6 bln yen the year before. 'We can attribute the (loss) solely to
the sluggishness in the visual product division,' said Hideo Yamada,
director and member of the board of Olympus. 'To drastically
restructure our visual product division (covering digital cameras), we
booked huge restructuring charge in this division,' he added.

Given they just announced several F2 pro 4/3 zooms, I'd be shocked if it
wasn't.
