“I received several Olympus mailshots today about their presence at the third annual Utrecht photo fair (Dutch website http://www.zoomexperience.nl) which happens to be taking place on the weekend of October 31 / November 1. No such e-mails in previous years so perhaps they’re doing something bigger there this year – go spend your 8 euros for a chance of seeing the first (wood, black leather or whatever) mock-up of that Ex or EPy ! ”

Maybe E-P2, an advanced MFT with viewfinder in retro style?
boring. We want FT products….
Still waiting for my E-3 replacement…
Makes tree…
E-5 will be cool as well, please make it a bit more compact, but enlarge the viewfinder 🙂
I am planning to carry my TV with my E-P1 as a viewfinder.
For now, I am interested to see how Olympus is dedicating its resource to the FT system
How do you get an FT5 out of that post from the DP Review. I saw that and did not even see anything said about the m4/3. It simple said that an announcement will be made. In any case I think any announcement made will be made at the New York show the week before. Lets hope it will be for the E4/5.
My prediction: continuing the retro look, Olympus will release an M43 camera that looks like a classic OM camera, but about the same size as the Pen. The material on my OM2 looks a lot like the material in the announcement, and it makes sense to me. Perhaps the EM-1, or OM-D or something else.
John Krumm, I would really love to see a digital OM!
@ John Krum and Alfons: Digital OM? Sounds interesting. I’d really like to see mFT (or FT) in classic OM design or authentic PEN one. That’s just a dream, because those types of cameras are gone – there is no digital substitute for that (look at modern cameras – it’s just not that solid feel like well designed old cameras have had). There is not even an affordable digital rengefinder camera market. I think that Olympus is the only one manufacturer who can does make it nowadays.
31th? or 31st?
If you really want to dream, it will be Oly’s affordable answer to the M9, the OM-D, Mirror-less cdaf, with a Kodak full frame sensor and new lens mount that takes all OM lenses with focus confirmation. Same size as an OM-2 or so, but with high grade EVF instead of a pentaprism. One new autofocus 50 1.4 lens to start things off.
I like your idea John. 🙂
