Olympus PEN E-PM2 anyone? (IMGs)

Re: Olympus PEN E-PM2 anyone? (IMGs)

The E-PM2 has been discontinued and as from what I've read it is not to be replaced, which would be a shame. It is really cool in my view to have a camera this small when combined with a pancake lens, but as an ILC still capable of taking larger and various lenses. My wife shoots hers with the 14-42 kit lens (95% of the time) for a light and pocketbook-able (LOL) camera, but she just asked to borrow my Sigma 60 for a special shoot. I expect her results will be every bit as good as I can get with my E-P5. It's that kind of flexibility to take a larger specialty lens combined with the portability when combined with small, light lenses that makes it a worthwhile camera. But if people like Rees are typical in comparing it to a compact then I suppose its market niche has shrunk.

Anyone know whether in fact Olympus has stated it will not be replaced?
