I came across this CS thread, I thought it worthy to be shared here as well:
http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=699288

I thought I'll like to add this impressive info:

An Honorable Mention
The Most Desirable Lens Line on the Planet: The Olympus Zuiko Digital Super High Grade line. There are only six of them; two are primes, but both primes are extreme telephotos. But I think they're the finest lenses for photography money can buy at this point. We'll be posting a user report on the two best Zuiko Digital Super High Grades on Monday."

A colleague asked me to recommend 'which dSLR brand'?
I gave him the simple answer: the brand that offers the best quality lens money can buy/ affordable :-)

Problem is Oly do not seem to give us any clear directions. The last dSLR released by them is already more then 1 year old. They seem to have lost the focus on improving the dSLR and concentrating only on the microFourThirds (mFT). Also with the latest rumors, Photo Kini will see the last 4/3 body. So where do users like us go? Superb glass must be coupled to superb bodies. It's not that we can use a Nikon or a Canon body with our Olympus glass.

So what's next? mFT's AF still not there, in fact the whole line's AF is still no where near the 2 market leaders. The erratic not accurate AF of the PEN series is terrible. And where is that long promised 100mm prime?

If mFT is what Oly is heading, then where are the bright semi pro lenses? Are we going to be sitting and hoping for some announcement that they MAY announce in the future?? At the very least, give us a chart to hope for. Even if it means like the 4/3 chart a missing 100mm.

Are we going to see weather sealed mFT? Are we going to expect some f2.8 mFT lenses?

Big Question..WILL Olympus still be around to service us in the near future?

E-5 is finally launched..So what the deal?

Nothing spectacular. Looks like a E-3 update too late. Gimmicky art filters, not that HDMI video, AF..high time that was updated..but is it really there? What else?

Could be personal choice ... Maybe if Marlboro_guy starts to once again flood Mytikas with his best Olympus pics, it will cause many to change their choices again :-)

So what are you waiting for, mg?
