Updated PEN news seems eerily silent. Has there been a consistent release schedule for these, or just random. I’m still hoping for a “Pro line” Pen with left side EVF, weather sealing, etc. And no shutter shock
With the design of the Stylus 1 and the smaller E-M10 I have wondered if Olympus will move more towards the OM-D and slowly reduce or phase out the Pen series
If Olympus made a PEN with all those pro features there would no longer be clear series distinction. For a while I was confused about where they were going with their camera lines but now it’s clear. Each line has an entry, mid and top level. The Pen series will remain an enthusiast camera while OM-D reaches further to pro level. The E-M1 is effectively the Pen-Pro. The only feature missing from your wish list is the rangefinder style EFV and in use a center vs side EFV really doesn’t mean anything.

Note the wide berth around the E-M5 for PEN announcements. Speculation (though probably not valid rumors) seems to suggest that Oly may be dropping from 3 PEN models to 2 and/or making the E-PL6 available globally in the near-term.
Case ? That’s a purse !
So true! I had one of these back in the day and would get called “sister” when walking around rural areas in the US. I Picked up one recently just for the sake of nostalgia, but I keep vintage OM cameras in it. And I didn’t pay that price for it!!!!
Admin, in europa. Cashback Panasonic 100€ for Gm1 with kit lens 12-32.

567€ -100€ = 467€ good deal.
Holy moly, I have that bag! And the matching bigger hard case. Probably never gonna use them again since I prefer the convenience of improved modern design (Temba Messenger Mini at the mo), so eBay here I come! Those 2 bags could go a long way towards the Oly 12/2 I’ve had my eye on! 😀
I have got the om1 case as well, got it with my om-2 (50 euro’s for the om2n, 50mm 1.4, 28mm 2.8 and 135mm f2.8 and the bag). Without inserts unfortunately. i bought a generic insert on ebay and still use the bag, even though my girlfriend really thinks it’s a purse.
