Surely there must be some compromise between the entry level offerings
(OM2000 and two new zooms) and the pro level stuff (35-80 f2.8 and OM-4/3Ti)
that Olympus now has. A body that's half way in price between $249 USD and
$1000 USD. Some lenses that are better than the rebadged Cosinas, but not
$1200 USD as the 35-80 f2.8. As just one example, the N*k*n 24-120 zoom has
a street price less than $500 USD. And that's just ONE example from many,
and in addition all the majors offer the "big glass", the f2.8 zooms such as
the Oly 35-80 f2.8. And yes, I know I could switch brands, but I really want
to stay with Oly. I'm just hoping (dreaming) that Olympus could meet us
halfway.
