Well then that kinda makes the point of decrying Olympus to hurry up and announce already even more moot, doesn't it?

So lets see, Nikon announces and a few months later, there is a the product on the street.
Has Olympus announced anything official? Let me answer by saying NO. So, do you believe that when they announce, it will be available immediately?

Olympus has said officially that they will sell the E-3 this year. For all we know Nikon could meet a manufacturing bump and delay since they are not out. I think both cameras will be out this year.

If they hold true to form, and Canon did the same as Nikon when announcing the new MkIII and the 40D, whenever Olympus does announce this camera they were going announce last year and showed the world a clay model, it will still be a few months away.

Olympus never commited to a year where they would sell. They announced the mockup but they never gave a "we are selling it this year."

Enough said. When jumping time comes, it comes. When more Olympus fanboys jump, Olympus better hope that the new owners will pick up the slack. The E-410 and E-510 were a huge hit and boost for Olympus, and the lack of an E-3 announcement and such is a big slap to all the good press they were getting. Olympus is not #1 or #2 for a reason, and they are not making strides to get anywhere close in my opinion.

I don't see how this changes keeping thing on their schedule, particularly when already plan. Anyone expecting any big surprised other than that leaked document, is setting up themselves for a dissapointment.
