'The wait will soon be over,' says Olympus, as it is getting ready to announce, next week, the details of its first MicroFourThird camera. Speculation has been building as to whether the camera will include video or not. However, the biggest question mark remains on how small the camera will be.

Of course, Olympus is spending a lot of time and money to promote a camera, some say, could redefine photography and relaunch the Olympus brand in people's psyches. 'Before long, photographers everywhere will be able to enjoy the benefits of a whole new approach to digital photography. And as a special treat, Olympus is offering registered enthusiasts all the details before anyone else,' Olympus says.
