Certainly, that would be a brave move. Hopefully with a much larger display than the original one. Maybe also with a bigger hump, making space for the larger optical viewfinder from E-3/E-5.

But the E-1/E-3/E-5 maybe are too expensive to build and sell. The cheapest route would be to reuse the E-M5 bits and mount the E-3/E-5 optical viewfinder and LCD.

You tried really hard to squeeze 7 as there is not much space left as it was designed to fit "1"..... good try though..

I wish Oly launch E-7 in E-1 body... then I will be the first one to grab it.

Don't be so hard on him. The IS cut and paste is really nice!

I wonder how many people would be lured to buy a new 4/3rds camera if they actually did that?

 

[blohum]

That would make me a very happy-chappie!

Remember that 2013 marks the E1s 10th anniversary... knowing how Oly likes to look to their past for inspiration they might just do it!

I think you may have a fight on your hands there!

Odd looking but never held one, can't imagine ever holding a camera that feels as good in my hands as the E3/E5 does.

Sorry Fred -

A friend of a friend of mine has a real pre-production E-7 for testing . . . . my apologies for the photo but its a bootleg of a bootleg.

Sure does have the classic Olympus look to it, though, and that's apparently one of the new series of fast primes on it:

Heck just about everybody who has handled an E-1 agrees that the E-1 is the most ergonomically perfect camera. That's even coming from E-3 and E-5 owners. From the off-set eye-piece to the way the body fits into one's hands to the smooth shutter sound...everything is just about 100% perfect.

they ever had in their hands.

I have small hands and find that for E-1 one should have a longer right thumb than mine to comfortably reach the rear wheel while the rest of the fingers rest where they are supposed to.

Yes, it is the off-set lens that really makes it so good to work with.

But dream on - to modernize the E-1 body one has to fit in a very much larger LCD screen on the back (it's nearly useless the existing one), and then I'm afraid most of the E-1 design consept falls to pieces.

LOL LOL LOL I hope if released (which I think it will be) I hope O calls it the E-6, or E-Pro, just to throw a huge wrench into all this craaaazy lemmings-over-the-cliff-like speculation.

"if it's predecessors are 1 and 3 and 5, well 2 more equals 7, eh Ned?" LOL!

Keep at it guys, you're more entertaining than Madonna's right nipple
