An article in the Japan Times indicates that Olympus will soon replace top management, following the accounting scandal that has been widely publicized recently.
(Click Here) to see the full story (in English).
What I find most interesting is the announcement that they may end up partnering with Fujifilm, Sony, or Panasonic.
Olympus makes some great lenses for Micro 4/3. The 45mm f1.8 is a shining example. Even though Olympus lenses already work fine on Lumix bodies, I can only imagine enhanced capability if Panasonic and Olympus were to join forces.
I won't speculate on the rumored Olympus Micro 4/3 camera that is supposed to be styled after the classic OM series; plenty of others are doing that.
I will say that I have a few old Olympus film rangefinders (SP, SPn, RC), and like them all. Olympus has always made unique cameras with excellent optics. I would welcome their pedigree to the Panasonic brand!
