It has beem widely assumed that the introduction of the E300 would be
followed by an E2. Anyone heard any rumours?

Surprisingly, no. It's assumed that a replacement must be in the works, and
it's hoped something will be announced at the PMA show in late February. My
local dealer, feels it's unlikely a new model will reach the market before
fall 2005. Personally, I hope the timeline is much shorter.

Assumption...the mother of all f**k ups

Olympus has only shown the lens roadmap for 2005 (it's on the E1 site
somewhere) and according to that big things will happen on the 4/3 lens
front in 2005... This fact, coupled to the lowered price of the E1,
seems to promise the E1 successor soon. I heard they were going to
unveil it at the PMA (?) in the US in march... Don't know specs but it
is supposed to be over 10MP, and be called the E3 for some reason.
Time will tell...

Thanks for that Lourens. Sounds good. This week's Amateur Photographer
(UK) is anticipating something next month (passing comment in review
of the E300)
