No Olympus E-System in COMEX 2010

Great if folks selling cameras share the same passion with the guys in this forums.

Looks like Oly is way too focussed on the PEN system.

Well, it makes Olympus lots of money, and supports research and development of other models like the E-5!

The popularity of the PEN cameras though caught Olympus by surprise.

Im kind of fed up, so much money on these lenses, and now the technology is changing! :angry:

If you don't like changing technology suggest you take whatever you have now and move to a cave, because camera technology is ALWAYS changing. For instance I've seen the Olympus flash protocol change four times in the short time I've been using Oly.

And if you think changing brands will save you, Nikon and Canon too have changed their flash protocols, not to mention lens mounts several times in the last few decades.

Just curious - how does Olympus compares to Pentax for their entry/enthusiast level cameras? I like Olympus for their price, size, and weight (can't comment about lenses due to lack of experience), but recently saw an article/thread (?) that shows the K-7 being smaller than the E30. :bigeyes:

Granted, the e30 is much older, but it leaves me wondering where is Olympus going to put their enthusiast followers? In the m4/3 camp, saving the 4/3 for pros, or...?
