Ah... the OM10 was the first Olympus camera I bought circa 1980

Still got the 50mm lens I bought with it ! !

Alas, I do not have any questions for you to ask or test

Quote: Will there be a lower spec cheaper model in the future and any news on the rumoured new 4thirds E-50 body?

Have a good day

Olympus are unable to comment on future products :/ But one would expect the PEN range of cameras to be refreshed yearly, as they have been over the last few years, maybe it will be the Olympus PEN E-P5, E-PL5 and E-PM2 later this year to match the name of the OM-D, the E-M5! (Maybe that's the mystery of the OM-D name answered...)

Sample photos from the OM-D E-M5 can be found here:

Quote: Ask them if the video IS is done using the in-body moving sensor. I think Sony have abandoned this in the A65/77 because of heat build up.

Yes it does - the effect is impressive!

Oh those ever so heavy DSLRs.

Has anyone really picked up a DSLR and thought - "Christ thats heavy!"

Even with the 1Ds the thought certainly never crossed my mind. I know of plenty of photographers who like their cameras to have some 'weight' to them.

It's not the DSLR - it's the lenses. They're massively heavier than smaller format lenses.
