Olympus to release a PEN Pro camera this year?

Olympus has been reported to be releasing new versions of its high-performance PEN cameras later this year or early next year.  The first PEN to be released will be nicknamed the “Olympus PEN Pro” model – a high-end model with touchscreen technology. Another model to be released will be a mid-range PEN camera with a tilt screen and the third rumored model will be a PEN camera that’s said to follow the original PEN EP-1’s design. In case you were wondering what the deal is with Olympus PEN cameras – these series of digital cameras are half-bodied cameras (which make them easy to bring around) that are touted to give SLR camera quality images. Portability and quality rolled together in one package led to the success of these PEN cameras. Since Olympus won’t confirm nor deny the existence of these rumored PEN cameras, we’ll just have to stay tuned for official announcements.
