TBH I wouldn't now no due to the uncertainty, and unfortunately I can see that being an issue for Olympus moving forward. Confidence in the brand will lower and as a result sales will diminish and further compound the issue. I do hope I'm wrong though and they come back with a bangFrom Thom Hogan (quoted by Hoppy above)

Would you buy into Olympus now?
Yes Robin, as I said in my earlier posts if you actually read the memorandum of understanding between Olympus and JIP (that I've linked to a couple of times) , the feeling (assuming you want to believe its contents) is very different from the Olympus M43 is dead message that is overwhelming the Internet.Andy Rouse writes a good long piece about the news :

He does make some very strong and balanced points........................as I perceive it (compared to the way he has changed brands in the past, he has clearly "tied his horse to the Olympus wagon" .Andy Rouse writes a good long piece about the news :

Olympus have been lying about this for year’s, they have had everyone’s pants downYou haven't got Saturdays lottery numbers as well have you Chris?
Olympus have been lying about this for year’s, they have had everyone’s pants down
In exactly same way as vw/Audi Had everyone’s pants down over the emissions scandal
Jip has not bought it so they can play happy families making m43 camera, it’s an asset stripping company, it’s bought Olympus for lot’s of patents that are extremely valuable
Panasonic will not come to the rescue either
It’s a sad day really, but Olympus has been totally to blame for pushing ahead with this m43 at the cost of everything else, when you put all your eggs in one basket and the basket breaks where do you turn
I’m not replying anymore to this, and I’m certainly not gloating at the demise of Olympus,
You compare a camera company in hard times with a criminal act of deception. Odd. Still you say you are stopping now so that's another 'good' from me.
It reminds me of Adobe saying that lightroom would be available for outright purchase "indefinitely". Two years later............
if only a certain lady thought that wayYep its not what you use it is how you use it that make the difference.
Interesting take on it from Andy Rouse, I'd like to think he was being straight with us but the cynic in me says that he has always been the salesman, either for himself or the brands he is currently associated with.

Criminal act of deception? Yes, Olympus has a fine track record there. Apart from repeated lies about turning the loss-making camera division into profit, there's the financial scandal of 2012 where Olympus cooked the books to conceal losses of $1.5 billion over the years. Heads rolled over that one.

Steve, I hope you don't mind but this looks more like a recently fledged pied wagtail to me. Note the buff tips to the feathers in the coverts (a sign of a young bird), the White edges to the tail that you wouldn't expect on a garden warbler and the overall stronger contrastier markings than you might expect from a garden warbler. The overall jiz also suggest wagtail rather than warbler.This thread has suddenly got busy for all the wrong reasons
So trying to get back on track, a first for me this bird and I'm hoping I've id'd it correctly a Garden Warbler

I don't mind t all its not the first time I've incorrectly ID'd a bird, and I doubt it'd be the last.Steve, I hope you don't mind but this looks more like a recently fledged pied wagtail to me.

Was it wagging its tail for even the youngest wagtails have that characteristic behaviour.

It could well be, they are a bit tricky at this age, indeed you other one might be as well, now that you have this one to help with the ID.I initially thought this another Pied Wagtail but the bit of yellow on its bum makes me wonder if it’s a Grey Wagtail not the best of images I’m afraid poor environs and high iso
