Shades of Leica with the purple blacks? No, Leica owned up to the problem. Olympus is keeping dead silent and letting the guinea pigs, er, customers sort it out. I'm not used to this. Olympus releasing cameras with flaws. Most Olympus (compared to many other brands) work without a hitch. Not this time. Much speculation as to the cause.
