The new Canon is interesting for Olympus with the price drop and the
name change. The sensor megapixel gap between 6 and 11 is quite a
bit and since Oly hinted about an 8 or 9 megapixel chip I would guess
that Canon is going to slot the successor to the D60 in the gap. A
D80 or D90? It probably gives a hint as to the price slot the Oly
will fall into, about $2000 without lens assuming they get beyond the
empty mock up and empty talk stage.
Speaking of chimeras, what happened to the Kodak that was rescheduled
to mid February and which would have lowered the prices at the top
end?
