After several Japanese websites reported that Olympus will be scaling back their investments in future DSLR cameras and concentrate on mirrorless products, Olympus Japan published a statement denying the withdrawal from the DSLRs market. The truth is that the Olympus E-5 DSLR camera was announced in 2010 and has not been refreshed yet. Olympus have indicated on several occasions that the E-5 replacement will be some kind of a Micro Four Thirds and Four Thirds hybrid solution.
