Is the E-5 olympus last pro camera?

Jul 29, 2011

I persuaded my wife who makes a living as a photographer(Weddings, fine art, portrait etc) to switch from Canon to Olympus. She started off using the E-500 for (outdoor only) beach weddings with great results. When the E-3 came out she dumped Canon completely and has never looked back. She now owns two - E-30's, 1- E-3, and one E-5, 35-100, two- 12-60's, 50-200, sigma 50-500 and a LEICA DG SUMMILUX 25mm. Not sure what to tell her about Olympus future in pro SLR categories. My thoughts are to trade in the e-30's and grab a couple more of the E-5's for the future. I would hate to change to another camera brand with all the killer glass we have acquired.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
