Waterproof DSLR from Olympus

I suppose it means buying a lot of new glass. The rumor is that it will cost $1,700, but at least the rumor is official and there is one in the wild.
Here is some of the latest info if you haven’t heard about this camera:

One thing I was just thing while searching more more about the camera is the difference between what we who fish see as waterproof and water resistant.

It looks like there is an underwater mode using the function button. But I cant seem to find any specs on how waterproof it is.
Olympus lists the camera as splash proof. To me that says water resistant, not submersible.

I’ve been looking at the E3 one pretty hard. If I move to another camera it would be a tough choice between this and a Nikon whatever. The features on the Olympus blow most everything else in its price range away.

any camera that I can change lenses on is not going in the water without a housing
