Well, this is "plummet" as well, the case of our Christmas Purchase of the V1 for close to a thousand is not the only of its kind.  However, the E-PL1 was announced in February 2010, over 2.5 years ago, its a long time in cycle of a digital camera...  The V1 needed only a few months for the downfall to set it.
