Exactly my hope too. Perhaps it could include a built in VF-3 to differentiate it, while the top tier one could have the new Epson viewfinder.

Hopefully Focus Peaking on each one.

Forgot to add that they should package it with a 25mm 1.8 lens as the alternate kit lens.

Would sell like hotcakes.

It’s not lonely in my bag. It has the splash proof 60mm macro lens to keep it company.

“Cameras come and go, babies stay.”

Except they grow up & are leaving home before you know it.

Admin, Al. Wishing you & mother well for the coming baby. We were blessed with our first grandchild (son) this year & will have the pleasure of their company over Christmas & I remember the excitement of a baby (our first daughter) coming into the home & now a grandson is great, but it is also a reminder that life keeps racing on & we can’t afford to waste our precious moments with our children (& grandchildren), so we will understand if we don’t hear from you during some crucial times in the camera world.

I would say the price is more likely to start at $999.

Cheaper than the E-M5 and same price as the Fuji X-E1.

Not sure if the body will be magnesium or plastic.

Hopefully it will inherit the E-P3 control scheme with a vertical thumb wheel and mode dial; EVF in the top left corner; built-in flash.

Maybe it will even be compatible with either the E-M5 grip or the E-PL5 grips? Maybe it will share the same battery as one of those cameras? Probably too much to ask for.
