You can rest assured that whatever they have in mind, they tell us  
NOTHING.
Until it suits them.
Conversation between an Japanese Oly Aus. exec. and a young  
journalist, I witnessed, about the E-520 -
"It's offered as a standard kit or as a Supertele kit with the  
70-300mm." (Prices were nominated).
"What's the price for the body alone?"
Pause, whirring noise, "We're offering in kits."
Puzzled..."But there must be people wanting to upgrade. Approximately  
what would it cost?"
Frown...""At the moment, only prices on kits are available."
"But..."
At that point someone tapped him on the shoulder and caught his eye.
The Oly rep. was getting very twitchy and we hadn't had the free  
lunch yet.
