I gotta admit, that had me going a bit. I was elated, then my heart sunk
when I read to the end and realized that it wasn't real. Still, from Oly
mgmt perspective, so what if there are a few thousand folks that would be
highly interested in such a line of new/old cameras? The costs to them
would likely outweigh the potential marketshare. Too bad. Still, I think
that we should take some solice in the idea that they are at least keeping
the lens lines alive.
