There is plenty of Olympus news today!
First we got that new picture of the Silver E-M1 (Source: Digicameinfo). There is also an image of the new 1.4x high quality teleconverter and an “unofficial” E-M1 firmware download link you can use at your own risk. To install follow the How-To at 43rumors.com.
All that stuff (including the new 40-150mm 2.8 zoom) will be announced on September 15!

Admin, you shouldn’t advertise non-certified firmware. Even if it’s safe (which can’t be confirmed), gentlemanly ethics should be respected. It’s only a week until release anyway.
Exactly, very bad idea to mention it and to add a link. This is what I dislike the most about the digital age, people just seem starved for news, no matter what it is, what consequences it might have. Very unwise, I must say.
Agreed. Take down the link. As a software engineer myself, the version available may not be the final image but was provided so the web team can get their ducks in a row.
Strong possibility this image is chuck full of zero day bugs. Trust me, they are still beating on this thing fixing bugs up until the release date. Anything before then may even brick a camera.
Silver looks nice – but it makes the EM1 larger and bulkier then it really is – at least I find it that way –
