I will make a quick rumor summary. Click on the linked text to open a new window with the original rumor article:
1) Olympus will at least announce two new FourThirds cameras. The E-620 successor and the E-3 (and E-30?) successor. The E-620 should use a new generation Panasonic sensor and be announced in February. The E-3 successor should also use “some kind of new sensor”. Available in March and maybe announcement at PMA (late February).
P.S.: Everyone is sending me rumors about that new sensor without giving me details about it 🙁
2) Panasonic will launch a new Lumix camera. Very likely a MicroFourThirds camera (G1 successor?)
3) Olympus will announce a new MicroFourThirds camera in May-June
3) Panasonic and Olympus will both soon launch the new MicroFourThirds lenses.
– Olympus 9-18/4.0-5.6 (February-March 2010)
– Olympus 14-150/4.0-5.6 (May-June 2010)
– Olympus 40-150 lens (February-March 2010)
– Panasonic Lumix G Vario f/4.0-5.6 100-300 mm (February-March 2010?)
– Panasonic Lumix 14mm pancake lens (February-March 2010?)
– Panasonic Lumix G 8mm Fish-Eye APSH f/3.5
4) And finally Samyang will release two new FourThirds lenses in March. The 85mm f/1.4 and 8mm f/3.5 fisheye!

And what about Fuji? Everything quiet?
My guesses for E-3 sucessor:
Either Fuji Sensor and/or 3 sensor design.
looking forward to 2010’s micro 4/3rds offerings. GF1 lacks the quality of electronic viewfinder, EP-2 lacks the flash…
If either were improved, i’d jump ship from DSLR in a shot…
I can’t believe how fast Olympus is missing the m43 boat.
WHERE IS THE UPPER M43 MODEL?
They lost the low end m43 battle and they only make a move in the upper m43 segment when Panasonic has already 2 models rolling?
May/June is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!
Holy s**t, the G1 is so ooooooold I even forgot that!
Panasonic will have already launched 3 models in the upper segment: G1,GH1 and GH2!
Hello Olympus? ARE U THERE?
Something is missing in this summary…. What about Zuiko 4/3 lenses? It would be nice to see the E-3 successor with the long-waited 100mm 😀
I really hope there will be new 4/3 Zuiko lenses but to be honest I did not receive any rumor about it 🙁
Great!
A E3 Successor in March suits me vary well, because in May/June I will be in Tibet!
