Maybe - but I think even the most dyed-in-the-wool Olympus fanboy (or girl) would have to admit that these models represent evolution rather than revolution.
Nothing wrong with that, of course, but IMVHO the new lenses (25mm, 9-18mm) are more significant than the new E-x20 models.
Yes, these new lenses are certainly a significant development. I think the fixed focal standard 25mm as a pancake lens was a great idea.
How about some wild speculation just for fun?
What if Olympus had a real surprise up its sleeve, like a new E1 mkII top professional model, making the E3 its mid range model? After all, the naming of the E3 always seemed a bit odd. Also, the pop-up flash seems very much a nod to the 'prosumer' and then there's the price - definitely mid range pitched. Maybe the E3 was a dry run for a more serious Oly bid in the superleague.
