According to popular photography a new great DSLR should be announced soon. Is it a Canon? Is it a Nikon?
I want to add my question: Is it the Olympus E-5?
We know the camera is ready for launch. Olympus already confirmed that the Olympus E-3

I can think of a dozen other possible cameras. Chances of it being th e”E-5″ are pretty slim.
It’ll be the new Canon 1DS MK IV with 32 to 34 Mpix and a cost of US $8000.

Será cualquiera menos la futura nueva cámara profesional de Olympus posiblemente llamada “E-5”.
Bwahaaaaahaaaaa!
I have -0- confidence that Olympus will announce the E5. I have no real evidence that I am right, but I do have experience with being dissappointed with what and when Olympus releases their highest-grade cameras. I have over $8k invested in 4/3rds equipment, but I am always questioning whether I am in the right “family”. Oly is slow to release, and they don’t seem interested in releasing what people expect from any and all camera companies that want to compete (The 4/3rds cameras were released in 2003, and oly hasn’t shown any interest in developing fast prime lenses, which are an expected feature of any serious camera line…What’s up with that? 7 years, and nothing? I am not holding my breath for the fast primes either, dudes). What I have is sufficient, and although my E3 works fine, It is technically behind when it is compared to what’s currently available (frankly, it was behind when it was released in some respects). I’m afraid that the new release will come out of the box behind the curve as well. Their zooms are fantastic, and that is probably why I’ll continue to use the 4/3rds line…
I don’t know… Maybe I just woke up in a cynical mood today, and I just need to go back to sleep.
Dreaming is free. Would be great, but I’m guessing it’s something from the Big 2 if they are heralding a future cover photo. Since when has Olympus been a cover?
maybe the new medium format pentax thing?havent seen any reviews for it yet….
My guess is another one. I bet is will be a new Sony FF camera, to replace a900. This one is gone out of production.
We’ll see soon.
Cheers
Maybe it just means nothing. They have a ‘great new DSLR’ on their cover every month, and they’re just saying they’ll revert to that habit after this month’s special with a person.
Perhaps a shot of the G2 or E-PL1. Maybe the soon to be announced Sony mirrorless.
Firstly, I find it funny that we’re debating whether it could be the E-5 when over at nikonrumors they’re all sure it’s a new Nikon. The timing sounds funny, though…I would have expected something more around the time of photokina.
kman – Yes, you are way too cynical. Olympus has already basically said that the E-5 is done and they’re just working out some manufacturing issues. Fast primes – there’s a 24mm/1.8, a 25/1.4, a 30/1.4, a 50/2.0, and a 150/2.0. And a 105/2.8, 150/2.8, and 300/2.8, if you call 2.8 “fast”. I don’t think we’re hurting that badly for fast primes. OK, I guess if you want a short fast prime, you’re a little out of luck.
If the E-5 were to hit the shelves around the time of Photokina, then an announcement in May might be nice. Especially nice if they get a cover in a mag that they typically don’t show well in. It’s more likley to be a Sony or Canon but the E-5 is not completely out of the question, is it?
Wait, so every month there’s a camera on the cover. This month there isn’t, and next month there will be again.
From this, we are assuming that some revolutionary DSLR is coming? All they said was a new DSLR is hard to resist. They have a DSLR on their cover every month.
If it’s an olympus, I’ll be shocked. Heck, if it’s revolutionary, I’ll be shocked.
