New Olympus Four Thirds mid-range DSLR coming up (E-A1 prototype)

Olympus revealed today at Photokina Press Day that they are working on a new Four Thirds DSLR that fills the space between the flagship E3 and the versatile E520. The code-name for this product and prototype is E-A1 and will be changed to a proper product name once the product is finalized we can presume.

Basic specifications

• New 12-megapixel LiveMOS sensor
  
• sensor-shift image stabilization
  
• pop-up flash
  
• status LCD on top
  
• rotating LCD on the back
  
• 11-point auto focus

Not much is known about this, but Four Thirds Photo has summarized it.
