Olympus to release OM-D?
Although it sounds like something the Ministry of Defence spends many sleepless nights worrying over, it is in fact a camera that is widely believed to be Olympus' next foray in the digital world. Well, that's what the rumour mills are saying anyway.

43rumors.com found an image that is apparently from the back page of a photography magazine, an advert from Olympus, creating a load of hype (or is it hyperbole?) about a new product. The first line reads "Oh My Goodness", with emphasis on "O" and "M", which means that their new product is most certainly a digital OM. That is, if you believe all of that.

The OM series of SLRs from Olympus were absolutely fantastic. Probably one of the neatest, sweetest SLR system around. Expectations are high; even more so now the rumours have made their silent but violent entrance.

Nontheless, this sounds potentially great. I'm pretty sure that Olympus can make it look good, and in some ways that matters a lot these days. I'm not so sure that Olympus can handle their finances without washing it in Cayman Islands right now, but that's another matter. But if this really turns out to be true then they can forget about their finances, they will be bringing back another of their great products in some form or another, and I know I will probably be excited and Lok will wear the Lederhosen if he gets to see a digital OM realised.
