UPDATE: I post the following rumor because many people sent me the link to the rumor. This is a lot simpler than answering everyone personally 🙂 I believe those specs are NOT real.
Via dpreview forum “Jason” gave us following E-5 specs:
“Excellent video,
perfect glass optical viewfinder,
remote flash control (without the need to pop-up the flash),
horizon indicator,
low noise,
high dynamic range,
multi-aspect ratio 16:9, 4:3 3:2 and 1:1,
magnesium and titanium body (for lightness, strength and water-resistance), durable shutter,
very unique sensor design,
super high-res OLED 3.5″ articulating screen,
6 stops of built in image stability,
1080p/720p up to 60 frames AVCHD,
super fast Live vIew autofocus – like [shoplink 14828]GF1[/shoplink]/[shoplink 14826]GH1[/shoplink],
dual memory slots SD and Compact – with custom write functions,
more intuitive pro interface/layout on back and top of camera,
studio Liveview for direct connect to computer”
I don’t believe those are the correct E-5 specs 🙁

who the heck is this “Jason” guy and why does he have any credibility?

hey admin: it´s not really from dpreview
Hehe, funny how it works. Someone posts here his “dream” camera specs (with stupid things like 6 stops IS or fast Liveview AF like cameras with lens designed for it), someone else picks it up on dpreview.com as if it was some real info from a guy called “Jason”, and the 43 rumors picks it back up as a rumor!
LOL!
Where is the problem? What matters is the question…is it true or not? I told you NOT!
The problem is that this guy was not saying that he received that information from anyone. It was just a comment here on 43rumors.com saying how he would like the E-5 to be. Like when someone says “I want 13 stops of DR!” or “I want 16 MP minimum!”.
It is not a rumor. Just a comment expressing a wish.
But the guy from dpreview.com forum picked it as if it was a rumor. And then it came back to 43rumors.com as a rumor when it was a comment in this same site.
I just found it funny, no offense intended to anyone.
Well, pretty lame rumors, but it would be awesome if they were true.
I like – but don’t believe 🙂
“low noise,
high dynamic range”
My wish list exactly if everything else is constant from E-3. It’s not impossible…
Admin, pls practice some self restrain in posting. By posting stuff that u got from some totally unknown source in other forum in which u yourself doubt is not doing any good to ur site and readers. It only degrade further whatever credibility leave in ur posts. As reader I would like to read quality rumors from credible source.
Hi PW! Many sent me the link to the dpreview post. I thought it would be good to post it and to tell you that is almost certainly a fake rumor. And by the way, it happend in the past that low rating value became true. One more thing, two weeks ago I received the rumor that Zeiss would make Cine lenses for M43. I didn’t believe the source and didn’t post it. Now the Zeiss cine lenses are here. It’s really difficoult to say post only reliable rumors (FT4 or FT5) because I don’t know everything!
maybe they are not the specs. If they aren’t, it won’t matter because the pentax k5 will do just fine.
sadly this is the end for 4/3 !!!!!!!!!
Salam!
Dreams, dreams …
i wish…
Lies. Would Olympus create another way of external flash control? At least FL-flashes don’t support that without add-ons.
@Alfons. Yes, the wireless flash triggered by the pop up can be very unreliable when controlling multiple groups. A built in RF transmitter would be great. The current 36r and 56r would require an RF receiver but it would be a small outlay for ease of use. Hopefully it happens.
6-frame-per-second in absolutely unacceptable for a pro camera. with nikon sporting eight and canon having eight, olympus really needs to get with the program and offer atleast the same, if not more.
