Mobile01 posted this real Olympus E-P5 pictures! The camera clearly takes inspiration from the but unlike the PEN-F it comes without built-in EVF. The camera will be announced around May 10. It will come along three Black prime verisons (17mm, 45mm and 75mm) and the new external 1,3 Million dot VF-4 viewfinder.

Is it just me who thinks these external viewfinders are a pain in the a….?
Admin,
Are you sure about the 1.3 million viewfinder ?
I ask because on your other site 4/3 rumours you wrote about a 2.3 million dot viewfinder . which is it is, IF you know ?

2 Control dials, 1 PASM dial, a flash, a tiltable screen, a great IBIS, a very good 16Mpix sensor… Sounds good to me!
Would of been perfect if it had a built in EVF. Ah well.
yack.
Why the tilt screen. I hate it. I want the ep5 to be like the ep3 , only better.
It’s fat–even more so with that atrocious EVF. I think if I had to choose it’d be OM-D EM-5 or it’s replacement that’s coming this summer.
No built-in EVF? Fail! Next one.
Frankly this argument that a camera which does not a built-in OVF or EVF is doomed is not only getting old but not supported by actual sales figure
it is UNDENIABLE that size is a HUGE selling factor for mirorless in both m4/3rds and APS cameras . the new generation of EVF would entail some serious design compromises if the EVF was to be built-in
It can be done but it does not mean that there are not LOTS of buyers who would buy the camera with only an OPTIONAL EXTERNAL EVF
The fact that you does not have an interest for such a product does not mean that there is not a sizeable market for it

No viewfinder buil-in? No intersting for me. Obsolete before borning. Big, too big error.
i love the body/style of it! 😀 not a m4/3 user but the retro styling does indeed look very good
There is an E-P5 with intergrated viewfinder: it’s called OM-D. Don’t know where the problem is when people always complain about the lack of an intergrated viewfinder within the Pen series. The external one is ineed bulky, but tiltable so you can use it from above.
my 2 cents.. had a couple of pens before switching to fuji.. ext.vfs are a pain in the a….
what would get me back in the olympus camp (additionally) would be something like the new pen but with integrated viewfinder..
I think the new pen looks gorgeous.. never felt at home when holding the om-d..
I agree.. please the next one with int.evf.. then I m back..
Arghhh…dear olympus designer, why u wont listen to us?
Please 100x, please design inter-camera viewfinder..rather than you put the in camera flash.
You made the hotshoe, you used the high peformance sensitivity sensor and u use 5 axis stabilizer…hmmm…actually you waste the camera space..sad…sad..
I think you should call it all HER glory. Photographers know that cameras are female, just like ships and countries!
