On a sub page of their opc.olympus-imaging.com/tools/3d/ page you can find those pictures showing how you could use the Olympus Lens Camera in many different ways. Not sure how useful it is but I really do like that “Spider” camera!

Are these working demos? Is that module even turned on? I never owned a 14-42 olym pancake, but the same one from panny extend out when turn on.
As fun as this module is, it’s gonna be weird to pair it with with most of the m43 lens on the market right now.
You’re right, the lens is not extended. The Panny PZ14-42 (good glass) pops out by itself, the Ollie 14-42EZ jams. The old Ollie 14-42ED has to be twisted like the Panny 12-32 (GM1) which is a better lens, as is the lightweight Panny 14-42 kit lens which does not extend.
Further specs are needed to confirm if this stuff aka Sony style worth of purchase such the image quality if it match what 45mm delivered .
Capable of RAW imaging ?
Sensor size ?
It does offer some interesting opportunities, but is it that different from having a GM1 in there?
I would be interested in something like this if it were the size of a small pancake prime eg, size sim to 17/2.8 or the 20/1.7 to be able to use with my Note3. Otherwise too big to carry around. May as well bring my camera.
The main problem with that concept is that you’d need three or four hands to operate it !
But I like the wheeled option (the thing with the blue wheels) : it could be handy to handle Timelapse movies, allowing less boring ones because you could change perspective and field of view.
That said, I don’t see a very wide market for it : the number of Mc Givers isn’t as wide as the number of push buttons.,
its ugly as hell 🙂
….rather make something like LX100 or better small like RX100
otherwise GM1/5 is the way to go for pocket camera
Sony has them out since almost two years now and meanwhile there is even an ILC version of it.
What’s the news in Olympus copy?
There is a smaller sensor, probably for a higher price. Accelerating innovation, pushing the boundaries… LOL the usual.
Seems to be the solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.
was there any problem then?
Yes, the peoblem is how to get a interesting camera angle.
I use E-M1 on 7m monopod to get camera up high and I get very special and unique camera angles from very known sights and landscapes. It as well makes great wild life camera as I can get shots from birds nests or birds sitting on branches at high without disturbing them.
Where are all folks that use to cry “no viewfinder, it’s useless”?
they maybe have grown up by now?
I think it is great that Japan keeps making things that no one buys -market research should only be carried out upto 100m from the HQ or we might get the wrong answers!
This is not an actual product but rather a concept.
They’re not going to bring it to market if there isn’t actually a market.
I want one, for no real reason.
This will be a camera not for photographers, mostly. It is for machines, geeks and lemmings. The future for optical companies is not real photography, there are less and less of us every day.
Flash
It is for photographers, it is not for those who doesn’t have vision or imagination to get different kind photographs than what they get from eye level.
The whole of m43 seems to share that problem 🙂
I could see more use of it were to work under water also, and if they worked with iPhone better
