    Olympus OM-D on 43rumours.com

    Ive been following this for the last few days, but have resisted in case the local Olympus fans literally explode! (Dan, im looking at you, keep it in your pants yeah mate )
    I try not to get to excited reading rumour sites as i have read some quite frankly crazily fanciful dross on them before!
    This though smacks somewhat of fuji's highly successful product "leak" marketing tactics that arguably catapulted the x100 in to the minds (and hearts) of millions of photographers world wide well prior to it even being officially announced a few years back

    Ladies and Gents, I give you the Olypmus OM-D Camera (rumour)
    More in the links below the images!

    My excitement is reserved Hamish, although the concept of it does sound appealing.
    They'd have to exceed expectations in order for it to be a great product to match today's standards, especially with the release of the x100 & x10. They would have alot to live up to!

    But then..... Haven't Olympus gone boobs up?

    Nope, if you have a read on 43roumours it sounds as though they might be getting in bed with one of the other big names ...
    I don't think they were ever in trouble, just doing naughty things ... But I might b wrong!
