I vote for fake. The lower is definetly photoshopped, look at the inverted blue ring on top of the lens. I think this originated from dpreview, where somebody photoshopped E-P1 black body.
Umm… I read the original, and the last line says “注)妄想ã§ã™ã€‚” Which translates into “Warning: just my imagination/daydream.”
That said, the black body looks sexy.
For those interested, here’s an actual non-translation-engine translation of the text:
“Following on the heels of the GF1: E-P2 will have external EVF capability!
The E-P1 will have a slightly body size, weight below 300g?
It will have external EVF capability, and the long-awaited black body color!
Caution: I’m just making this up.”
Just a guy posting his wishes for the next generation… move along, nothing to see…
I just hope that the Ev-1 will work with E-P1, otherwise, E-P1 is worthless compare to E-P2. Unless E-P2 will be much more expensive than E-P1 (already not a cheap camera body.).
Here’s hoping that Olympus finds a way to reprogram the flash interface to allow for transmitting viewfinder relevant data via the hot shoe. Be that an EVF or an OVF.
Clearly fake, but the black body…whooeeee, love it. EVF, forget it, looks like someone ps’d the flash unit….remember the EP-1 comes with an external (not electronic) view finder to use with the 17mm lens. I know I used it already…rocks the house people.

Writing is an imagination of the manager.
