More or less they confirm our rumors and add some details (the bold part in the text):
” The other zoom lens that could come in together is the M43 variant of the 40-150mm. We use the word ‘variant’ because there may be modifications here.”
“Both the model for June 16 and the one for end-of-year will sport the now-familiar 12.3-megapixel LiveMOS sensor. TruePic will remain at generation III+ but there will be additional capabilities of which the most eagerly awaited is their video capabilities.”
” It’s more likely that you will see a more serious chrome-black model instead, almost reminiscent of Olympus’ RD/RC rangefinders or the Pen-series. December will see a full-black model and more serious features including lenses.”
“Olympus understands the strong appeal of a real rangefinder. It’s been there and done that and the revival of something very similar in the digital era is an important growth area for digital camera sales.“

hi guys,
very cool homepage!
any idea if the “old” pana objective (14-45mm) is usable in the video mode of the new gh1?
are the new objectives from oly produced to handle video recording?
best regards,
chris
