(FT4) FourThirds revolution

原文如下：

43rumors is now certain that we will see soon a revolution inside the FourThirds product strategy. FourThirds will continue to live and grow but in a different and somewhat unexpected way. According to many rumors we received from many different sources Olympus has taken some important decisions:

1) FourThirds will continue to exist. There are two reasons why this will happen.
a) MicroFourThirds cannot satisfy some of the needs of pro-semipro photographers (like fast and reliable autofocus for example). So there is still a need for classic DSLR cameras.
b) There are many FourThirds user out there that Olympus don't want to disappoint.

2) FourThirds future development will focus on High-End products. The low-entry FourThirds line-up will not be developed anymore. We don’t expect any new Olympus E-4xx or Olympus E-5xx.

3) In order to be competitive with cameras like the Canon 7D or Nikon D300s Olympus will introduce some very new tecnology with the upcoming High-End camera.

4) We received the confirmation (from new and “old” known sources) that the Olympus modular camera concept really exists! The innovative camera was supposed to be introduced in 2011. But it is very likely that Olympus engineer are now working to introduce the hybrid-system by end 2010.

We received first details about that camera but we need to confirm the rumors before to post it on 43rumors. If you can help us send us an email to 43rumors@gmail.com Thanks all for your help!

簡單翻譯如下：

43rumors網現在確信我們即將目睹43系統產品策略的變革，43系統將以某種意料之外的方式繼續存在及
成長。根據從許多不同來源所收到的許多傳聞看來，Olympus已作出以下重要的決定：

一、43系統將會繼續存在，主要有兩個理由：
1.M43系統無法滿足專業及準專業攝影者的須求(例如快速及可靠的自動對焦)，所以有必要維持傳統DSLR的存續。
2.Olympus不想讓廣大的43系統用戶失望。

二、43系統未來的發展將會專注在高階產品，低階入門級的產品線將不再發展，應該不用期待E-4XX或E-5XX的新款了。

三、為了和Canon 7D或Nikon D300s這樣的機種相抗衡，Olympus將在即將到來的高階相機上引進某些很新的技術。

四、從一些新舊來源所收到的確定消息，Olympus的模組式相機概念確實存在，這部創新的相機預定於2011年面世，但現在Olympus的工程師可能正努力讓這部混合系統式相機於2010年底就面世！

43rumors網已收到有關這部相機的初步細節，但在正式公布上網前仍須要確認一些傳聞。
