Photorumors.com (great site, I highly recommend it) posted a shot from a movie posted on the Olympus website ostensibly celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Olympus PEN camera. However, since previous
statements by Olympus bigwigs indicate that their long-awaited μ4/3 camera will honor the PEN design (and the prototype which I have seen with my own eyes is very PEN-ish) could this be a teaser for said camera? Look at the video and draw your own conclusions.
[UPDATE:] The Olympus PEN site has been updated and now has a short film about the PEN EE.
[UPDATE 2:] The Olympus PEN site has been updated with a short film about the PEN D.
[UPDATE 3:] The Olympus PEN site has been updated with a short film about the PEN F.

I, for one, am looking forward to this camera. With the availability of Leica-M to μ4/3 adaptors from various companies (including Panasonic – can Leica be far behind?), truly excellent manual glass can be mounted on this little up-and-coming gem making it even more PEN-like. Can’t wait to try the new CV 15mm VM lens on it!
