I do not know the URL of the original japanes site. Got this information 
from a german Olympus forum and it was about the price of lens and camera 
together. Other estimations have been lower, but a price below 2500 euro 
(350k yen or $3k) for the kit is not expected neither in Oly nor Fourthirds 
forums and newsgroups.

>Where do you see 500k yen for the body and lens?  A Japanese article  
>that I've seen said that "while Leica lenses have cost upwards of  
>500,000 yen, the new 4/3 will be a fraction of that."
>And I am a native Japanese speaker...

>>Ouch.

>>>On japanese websites a price of 500'000 yen is rumoured (body and  
>>>leica lens). that's 3600 euro or $4275. if we  roughly estimate  
>>>this down to a street price 6 months after the release it would be  
>>>around $3000 which is still way too much.
