Olympus have issued a vague press release that hints at a successor for the E-5 pro DSLR camera. The head of Olympus’ SLR planning team has said that the company is working on a new body for use with its best “Top Pro” lenses, like the 90-250mm f2.8 zoom. Akira Watanabe “emphasise(s) that Olympus is actively developing a solution and will announce more details in due course” - on the back of that statement, we’d expect to see at least an early mockup of the Olympus E-5 successor at the bi-annual Photokina show next month…
Press Release
Olympus working on new body for top-pro lenses
Akira Watanabe, manager of Olympus Imaging’s SLR planning department, confirmed today that the company is definitely working on a body to deliver the focusing performance expected by users of the Top Pro lens series like the ground breaking 90-250mm f2.8 fixed aperture zoom.
Watanabe has been delighted with the success of the OM-D which has pushed the boundaries of performance for system cameras but acknowledged that it did not deliver with the legacy high end lenses from the E-System. Whilst further information wasn’t forthcoming, he was keen to emphasise that Olympus is actively developing a solution and will announce more details in due course.

Unfortunately they killed that line for a reason...even if I don't understand why we need pro grade E7, who buys that anyway?

I'll buy in no time. 12-60 and 50-200 zooms are the best among 4/3 glass. Anyone desagree?

I own a Zuiko 7-14, 14-35, 150 and 50 f/2.0.
I would buy one in a heart bit and so would most people invested in SHG glass from Zuiko...and there's quite a few of us out there...

Having a good range of Zuiko lenses I would dearly love to upgrade but the 12mp of the E5 is holdng me back, and the OM-D whilst nice doesn't cut the mustard and requires an adaptor for my lenses and cuts down on the quality
