Whatever happened to the Pentax mirrorless due in March?
and the Nikon mirrorless ??
Good choice of image admin, a classic design (apart fom the letter F) that still looks clean and modern today. It sits well along side the OM1/OM2.
Maybe they will unveil the MFT pro camera and a few pro lenses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then again maybe next year… 🙁
or maybe next decade
Seriously, does anyone have any hint at all if Oly are working on their own GH2 ?
gh2 is an ugly design that isnt changing anything in the way of cameras
a ep2 with a built in EVF is 1000x more sexy and functional
+1 That what we want!
@jeff … but the EP2 with the 1960s NostalgiaCam styling, in four barely-different models, is breaking new ground? Seriously?
Olympus needs a model with a built-in EVF to round out their M4/3 lineup. An articulated LCD, as the Panasonic G2 and GH2 have, adds a ton of flexibility. It’s a shame no Oly M4/3 camera has that feature. As it would be nice for Panasonics to offer IBIS.
Not all users have the same needs or requirements.
@Mr. Reeee
You seem to have the exact same needs or requirements as me. A Panasonic (G2/GH2) body with IBIS or an Olympus body with built-in EVF and articulated screen is all I ask for. I think Olympus will be the only one to deliver, as it doesn’t make sense for Panasonic to go the IBIS route now.
I can’t say I care that much about looks. The GH2 has faster AF, better sensor, and blah blah. But the jpegs aren’t as good as Oly and the lack of IBIS is a shame too. So an Oly version of the GH2 (that looks suitably retro for the fossils ?) would be very welcome.
@mclarent & steve…
As I’m not interested in waiting forever for the mythical perfect anything, I got a GH2.
As far as IBIS goes, it’s a nice perk, but since I’ve never had a camera that has it, use some manual (aperture & focus) lenses and prefer available light, there’s not much for me to miss. 😉
The JPEGs are a toss up. Oly have marginally less noise at higher ISOs. Panasonic have more natural color. Ultimately, I plan on shooting mostly RAW once I get more comfortable.
maybe when we expect it the least…….:-)
Yes, Olympus is going to announce the Spanish Inquisition.
Olympus definitely needs to address the dearth of compact cameras in their lineup!
😉
Preferably by axing as many of them as possible.
Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition!

Dream of a pancake zoom is one step closer!
