HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THE LENS OR DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE INFO, IT IS NOT YET AVAILABLE IN SOUTH AFRICA, HAVE SEEN IT ADVETISED AT www.adorama.com

Yes I saw it today and the E-300 also.

The lens is a thing of beauty, but it is a LARGE lense.

The camera is very nice and feels very good in my hands, but ...... Almost every photo I've seen has been IMHO soft (this includes their brochure !!!). I need to see more.

This is one heck of a nice looking camera, I just hope the photos were soft on purpose and the camera and lens combo's are tack sharp. Olympus has a lot invested in this project, and I hope they are keeping their quality standards up, cause if they are not, word travels fast and they could be dead in the water before they begin to take off.

Or, since this is a Digital Photography Web site , you could scroll down to the January 11th news entries on our Breaking News Page, where you'd see this announcement, which includes a link to the specifications on the Olympus Japan web site:
