@Peter, I hope you're right on the 18-200 IS. Do you have any source to point us to on that rumor? @Narna, See the 70-200 VR lens update.

Any news on rumoured Nikor lenses? I’m still hoping the zoom-micro makes a comeback.

Canon is thought to be introducing the long awaited 18-200 IS lens in september. Might this be at this show or is there another important show in september?
I do hope there might be a 24-70 IS… that would be awesome!

greetings, Peter

Hello Eric
Thanks for the comment and the candor and honesty of your reply. Quite refreshing. It is true that Olympus has made an habit of introducing new products outside the calendar of the Main Photo shows ( PMA, Kina or Photo plus Expo). That being said , no doubt that the E520 will be shown at the photokina even if it is not available in stores before after the show ( like most other brands)
They will also introduce their new wide-angle zoom 9-18mm and I would not be surprised to see the surprise introduction of another single focal length there as well

@harold – You make a good point. Let me research this a bit and I’ll see what I can come up with. Olympus has updated the E-4xx and E-5xx series at a rather odd time.

And, I suppose you’re right about a bias against Olympus – I have simply never used Olympus cameras, other than some brief hands-on time with the E-420. The bias is unintentional and I will try to be more fair in my future coverage.

Again, I appreciate you pointing out my oversight here. If you have any information or insight, I would certainly appreciate any contribution that you have to offer. In the mean time, check back soon for some Olympus updates. ;)

I am puzzled why you have decided to leave out Olympus from the Photokina 2008 coverage. Is there a bias against this brand ?
if you are covering Sony, Sigma , I see no reason to leave out Olympus
