The japanese leaked specs we posted yesterday with a “FT2” value (unknown source) are mostly wrong!

Two more trusted sources do confirm that.

It says “Only one day left!” And it doesn’t look like they will unveil a new kind of Emmental Cheese!

The blue cloth remembers me something ;)

Some speculation:

Dpreview removed the Panasonic GF1 advertising. New advertising is coming…for the Olympus E-P2?

UPDATE: Panasonic GF1 ads is back on dpreview. Let’s see how long it will stay there.

Latest news:

The E-P2 is going to be announced tomorrow in Asia, it will be very early in the morning in Europe and night in US.

Two more thing…
Olympus will probably release a new lens roadmap.
The japanese leaked specs are not exact.

“The big Olympus news on October 31st was about a new ambassadors for Olympus in Holland – I just learned that today. The announcement of the E-P2 is still expected in the next few days – latest by next week. There is also a possibility for a new tele zoom (40-150) and a macro lens.”

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Two of our trusted sources told us that this specs are close to the real ones but not the exact E-P2 specs! We hope to get the real E-P2 specs soon!

Just received this from an anonymous sender. I don’t know if this specs are true. He sent me an image of the specs in japanese. Can you help me to translate it?

UPDATE: No one else than  Thom Hogan helped me ;)  “third item is 3″ 460k dot LCD
seventh item is 3.5-4 fps shooting rate” Thanks!

Also John helped us:

“I think the only improvements are:

1) True Pic V+
2) External EVF 1.44mp
3) 3″ LCD 460k
4) 1080p 30fps
5) Flash Sync 1/180 or 1/250 and below
6) 3.5 ~ 4 fps shooting speed”

Radu added following information:

“Also, it looks it works with Oly RM-1 IR remote control instead of the cable RM-UC-1, and the flash sync has an 1/250s option.”

Price:

E-P2 alone Body / 79,800 yen ($880)
E-P2 kit lens / 89,800 yen ($990)
