Olympus has confirmed that it will be launching a Micro Four Thirds digital camera in 2009.
The company is currently showing a prototype on its stand at Photokina in Cologne.
Miquel Angel Garcia, managing director for European marketing at the Japanese company, has told Pocket-lint that we could expect a Micro Four Thirds camera within the next 12 months from Olympus.
Garcia also confirmed that the final model would take a "LOT" of the flavour of the prototype being shown on the stand in the final design and that it wasn't just a "proof of concept".
"For us it is about design and style, not about a smaller black box", he said.
The comments come as Panasonic show off their completed Micro Four Thirds camera, the Lumix G1, at the show.
