UPDATE: Whatdigitalcamera posted that image of a “Mystery Olympus” you can win on a special event on July 26. This created quite a buzz for a short time but this teaser has been already posted nine months ago. And I think the July 26 event “Mystery Camera” is the E-P5. Busted 🙂

The new EM-6 be bundled with the 12-40/2.8-4 zoom for $1600
annnnnnd.. begin!
I would say that the shape looks more like the 4/3 series than the current incarnation of the OM-D.
I agree 🙂
Looks like a E7 or E30 replacement… We’ll know soon enough 🙂 good to see all this momentum…
+1
Looks like E-7.
The terms of the competition that they announced in connection with this event state: “9. The overall winner [..] will win a mystery Olympus camera worth over £1000.” So, it looks like this will be a higher-end camera model indeed.
Gratulerer med dagen alle norske lesere! Håper dere får en fin feiring!
Norwegian National Day 17. May
Är brännvin billigare då?
I wonder if it could be some high end compact camera with a fixed lens and 4/3 sensor.
new Hi-End Compact
could it be the same E-P5 just up for grabs?, i don’t see the EM6 being announced an teased this early in the year.
that’s what I don’t know yet. I was sure this was a new teaser but now I am not anymore.
Rumors have been something (probably the ‘M6’) being released in September. Considering that the P5 was announced a little over a month before release, that would put July 26 about right for it. I’d also expect lead up to the announcement to start about now too. (With the E-P5 having being pretty much discussed to death.)
We need f/2.8 zoom!
That clearly shows a chunky grip, a viewfinder hump and an extended lens/mount. There is a CHANCE it is just a super-zoom p&s, but I think it will be a new 4/3 camera.
Might be the e-5 replacement. However, i think it be a different body unlike the e3/ e5.
hope it´s the E-7, i will order on the spot …
Is it the “woody” camera?
could mean “Mystery Camera” = any Olympus camera”. But I’m hopeing EM6!
Does the E-pl5 have any extra knobs for changing settings? everytime i see it go close to 499 it makes me sad cause thats how much i paid for the e-pm2 🙁
High quality version:

It suits v. well the moneyed wankers here that are ready to drop thousands on anything that warrants them a bit of recognition.
Do notice that we never saw a piccie from them lest they sink in ridicule.
A wisp of smoke for a grand, comrades dentists? 🙂
You sound poor, almaric.
You sound lame, whoever you are.
I am used to get the minimal amount of gear needed by my photography, not the minimal photography allowed by the maximum amount of gear. YMMV.
Amalric, your pics on flickr really lack in composition. It’s ok not to spend so much for “the maximum gear”, but it’s even better to spend some money in buying some books about photography.
Did you change again your nick, coward lamer?
It seems strange, that you who have nothing to show, comment on a site which has more than 100,000 views, while you have none to show.
QED
I wouldn’t try to get clues from that picture — it looks like stock photography. The same image, colored differently, was used on the WDC site about nine months ago.

Ken,
Excellent catch.
Same image. One would expect better from an camera site.
Yes -excellent catch Ken!
Thanks Ken!
i’d bet it’s a limited edition OM-D.
probably with a glossy wooden hump and grip with inlaid pearls…
SEE! i told you it was the E-P5.
They won me over to wait for Christmas instead of buying an E-P5 before holiday-season
one thing is certain with mFT if you are a little patient the prices always crash and burn , unfortunately for Olympus and Panasonic finances just about everyone apart from a sprinkle of fanboys have also worked this output .Which is why the big sellers in the charts even in their home market are the heavily discounted models,

Thanks admin, this speculation was fun to follow… 😉
-p-
Could just be a “stock” photo
It was fun to read what people were thinking/guessing about the hidden camera! Some were seeing a fast zoom, a hump, some a compact camera… Admin you should have stayed silent (and Ken, nice catch, btw, too!) 🙂
Darn, I thought it was assorted lens hoods.
