    the E5 is going to be like the E3 “old Technology” probably is going to be like a Nikon D90 witch is old to compete with the competition

      My thought exactly. 12mp, 11 point af, 3″ lcd… All sounds like a D90, beside the mic jack. Nikon aint so bad after all!

    This is u43 innovation at work. This year a black EP-2. Next year, a beige one and so forth. I’m sure Panasonic’s GH2 will be a GH1 with new and exciting body colors.

    I sincerely hope that Olympus has more “up its sleeve” than this at Photokina because otherwise it sounds like nothing new
    a black lens to match the body , is that even newsworthy ?
    and as far as the E5 , it looks like it got to catch up with the features that all other bodies in the same price range got 2 years ago
    and the art filters should never be on a body like the e5
    what’s next ? a mode that detect people smiling and a user interface like the Nex 3 for the e6
    ridiculous !

    Way to go, Olympus! They always get left behind in the tech stakes.
