Olympus Working on New Body For Top-Pro Lenses

Olympus

Following the success of the OM-D, Olympus have announced that they are currently developing a new camera with focusing performance in mind.

Akira Watenabe, Manager of Olympus Imaging's SLR planning department, confirmed today that the company is working on a body to deliver the focusing performance expected by users of the Top-Pro lens series in line with the ground-breaking 90-250mm f/2.8 fixed aperture zoom.

Watenabe has been delighted with the success of the OM-D which has pushed the boundaries of performance for compact system cameras, but acknowledged that it did not deliver with the legacy high-end lenses from the E-System. Whilst further information wasn't available, he was keen to emphasise that Olympus is actively developing a solution and will announce more details in due course.
