Ohhh things are becoming hot! The next Olympus Pen
Just received this:
New Olympus MFT camera with built-in finder
Size 109 x 70 x 50mm – 417.3g
It comes with a 42mm f/2.8 lens (3 feet close focus)
Two-bladed mechanical leaf shutter
It has a higher dynamic range (16 EV in Black and White) than the Nikon D3X
This results has been archieved because the camera is not only mirrorless but also sensorless! It directly captures the light without the need of a digital sensor. The organic sensible material replaces it!
And it costs you $100 only!
This one comes from one of my best sources:
(Thanks April !)

April 1, 2010
Just Olympus fake rumor on 1st April?
NOT FAIR!
WANTED PANASONIC FAKE RUMORS TOO!
haha nice try, but you didn’t get me!

This is not fair ๐
Hm… I think will wait for the LX4 instead. ๐
Had me at first looking for a leak about tommorow. Then got to the 16EV in B&W & lost me. Granted I wish, but not there yet.
That’s why it looks familiar to me HA HA HA ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Trip 35 ๐
This may be April Fools Day but what strikes me as curious is everything from the picture down as far as the two bladed leaf shutter is plausible even if the rest is pure obvious fiction? Consider that to include an EVF inbody the body would have to BE chunky with more depth as depictured in the fake rumor picture? If a total fake wouldn’t it just be a sweve model as most other depictions of a Pen? Oly was reported on working on getting a small prime similar focal length to Pany’s 20 so a 21/f2,8 not unreasonable to keep size down? Looks like a possible prototype with a small legacy lens attached to front adapter? The overall dimensions seem on the small size but not the fuzzy picture. Possible a low end rumor leak to 43rumors with admin adding on the bottom specification April Fools tidbits?
Darn it! Ya got me. Such cruelty.:-)
I’ve ordered one!
Well, actually the EVF is detachable from the camera, and connected wirelessly ( bluetooth??), so that it can be mounted as a heads up display on your glasses.
Only $150 will buy you a second wireless EVF, for use of the director, the second camera man, or for those group Borg self-portaits.
yeah, and if u have 2 EVFs and also 2 lenses, what the hell, it might as well be 3d lol.
Even if this wouldn’t be on April 1st, that Camera looks more like a +real” retro camera, Olympus try thses days always to style their products retro, that could be cool if done good. Maybe i should apply as a product designer for Olympus! ๐
Looks a lot like the camera the guy is holding in this picture… http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ArnDomWlpTc/S26OUiomu8I/AAAAAAAAFMg/FC7jOZz3Aa4/s1600-h/bond2.jpg
