Olympus working on new body for top-pro lenses

Olympus confirms new camera body for Four Thirds lenses (Four Thirds User)

From reading that short statement it could mean anything, from a traditional mirror SLR E7 body to a phase focus adapter for micro four thirds cameras, and in between a mirrorless E7 of some sort.

This is nice to see.

Right - could mean anything. It seems to me the emphasis is on lens and auto focus performance. There is much talk of an E-7 body but the announcement wasn't at all specific about whether they're working on a Four Thirds or a Micro Four Thirds body. I hadn't even thought about a phase detect AF adapter, a la Sony SLT. That's a very interesting thought.

What I want to know is, where's my Micro Four Thirds 12-60mm f/2.8-4 pro zoom?

Here is a quote and explanation referencing an article from Olympus UK which confirms John's statement above.
