How about an upgrade on the c-8080 like they did to the 5060.  Faster write
times and performance, better AF and zoom performance, tilt and swivel
display, flash, etc.  The 8080 is such a nice design and with a little
improvement it would be great.

There are rumours of as many as seven new lenses and three new bodies at
PMA.  A couple of the lenses may be f/2.0, pro-spec zooms like 28-80 and
70-200 ranges (35mm equiv).  There is also a full-frame fisheye on the
docket, a fast wide angle, a longer, 75-250 zoom, a fast tele macro, and
more that I can't remember.

Personally, I'll be surprised to see as many as five lenses and more than
one new body.  But they really need two new bodies:  an E-1 replacement,
dropping an 8MP sensor into the E-1 body, and a new, pro-spec camera with
higher MP and faster/bigger than the E-1.  The 5MP E-1 is going to get
slammed down pretty hard this year without an update.  No matter how good it
is, size does matter to some extent in this market.
