In the early hours of yesterday morning, Olympus Japan published a press release describing future additions to its E-System product lineup.
You can find the release in another news item, but in brief the additions are as follows: - A new professional digital SLR, successor to the existing E-1 model. This new model will apparently offer fulltime live view, and is the first SLR we've seen with a tilt / swivel LCD display. Although we've seen possible model names mentioned elsewhere, Olympus' press release states that the name for this new model has not been decided, and the camera is referred to as a "concept" by Olympus America, suggesting that there may still be tweaks made to the design before release.
- Three new lenses with Supersonic Wave Drive autofocusing. These lenses will be a 12-60mm f2.8 - 4.0, a 14-35mm f2.0, and a 50-200mm f2.8-3.5, respectively.
- A 70-300mm lens with f4.0-5.6 maximum aperture. This lens won't offer SWD autofocus, unlike the other three mentioned previously.
- A 2.0x teleconverter.
Olympus America has now provided us with product photos for all of the above items, which you can see below... | Olympus' unnamed concept camera |  |  |  | | . |
