If you're thinking about the MZ-S I believe they announced it when they did to tell
the market that they intend to market a higher end 35mm slr. I'm glad they did; I
wonder how much frustration there would have been if we haven't heard anything about
the MZ-S at all yet.

They won't. Japanese companies are far more secretive than most others.

I'm certain there will be be a new flash above the current one shown alongside the
MZ-S. However, there are limits on how many new products a company can show
simultaneously.

Most prime lenses in this range don't sell anymore. Most buy zooms or macro lenses.
There are prototypes for lenses in this range but my guess is that they won't reach
the market.
