Hot info and curiosity:
No more Four Thirds camera or lenses will be produced. Olympus officially merges MFT and FT into one system (DC.watch). But Ming Thein says: “I’ve been assured this isn’t dead, and an E-7 is in the works“
Olympus plans to release a wideangle zoom and super-telephoto prime in this nascent Micro Four Thirds ‘PRO’ range (Dpreview / ePhotozine).

Annoying: No special 12-40mm kit price in USA!
