It looks to me that it will be at about the right price point to make it
compete with the D200. If past deeds are repeated, that's where it will be:
competeing with a nearl out of production camera.
Setting all considerations of image quality aside, and forgetting
photographers actual reproduction size, since in the commercial sense none
of that matters a bit, if it is a 10mp Panasonic sensor, Olympus is toast.
We MUST look at this in a commercial light. The lenses are quite good, but
are an investment that should last for more than one body. How, exactly,
most of us can justify a substantial lens investment when it could be plain
that the E3 will be the end of the trail, I don't know.
What the camera needs is a Kodak sensor of about 12MP. That will satisfy the
numbers crowd, and provide the same image quality that the E1 offered.
