(FT5) UPDATED -> New Olympus camera coming soon…no MicroFourThirds?
New compact camera or MicroFourThirds?
The teaser has been posted inside the Stylus Though section. So may it is not a MicroFourThirds camera. The official MicroFourThirds section doesn’t show the teaser!
Need some help from my trusted sources: Please send your rumors to 43rumors@gmail.com! 
UPDATE -1: it could be a new Low-Entry compact camera with big 4/3 sensor. Something like the Sigma DP2
UPDATE -2: A veeeery reliable source sent me this “Don’t be distracted on the 2nd. Keep your eye on the prize.”

January 26, 2010 |Something like LX-3 would be a rival for future PEN’s, so that’s not what I hope/think…

January 26, 2010 |I hope for a real rangefinder to compete with g11. would be nice to have a m9 with a 4/3 sensor and hopefully electronic global shutter. I even discussed with a friend about a tough series “minipro” camera.

January 26, 2010 |i’m not a fan of olympus (although i have one of their cameras) but i can’t see them produzing an LX3 competitor… it’s too classy for them

January 26, 2010 |Recently I’ve been looking at film Olympus Pen series from the 1960′s. The design cue looks like it’s from Olympus Pen EE series, which is a scaled down, point and shoot version of Olympus Pen F series (which is what E-P1 and E-P2 take cue of).

January 27, 2010 |It could be anything. I looked at the source code, it has a product ID of 1501. I tried to poke into those directories but it is hidden from view. The IDs go in sequential order and it doesn’t matter if it is SLR, pen or P&S. E.G.
ID 1483 is the new Stylus 3000 and 1482 is the E-P2. I studied the source code for those items and they do have a directory with content; ready to be published. So at this point, it is anyone’s guess. Could be a PS, Tough, m43 or dSLR.

It means E-P2 is only a distraction, it’s not really an advancement from E-P1what’s coming is the real deal?

January 29, 2010 |i’m quite agree with jack, i was confused with that sentence at first.
1 Agent00soul said the height, i was attracted by the size of lens, definitely it’s not a plain compact. i’m looking forward to see the lens.
2 look at the design of olympus cameras, with the obvious hotspot and the mode wheel, it’s at least a GR/ LX3/ DP2 level.
3 the design of shape like the old famous olypus camera using film, which is a classic to me, which i think will be the prize!!!
4 with this kind of “innovation”, will they put a normal sensor as a fool? surely it’s a 4/3 sensor or enven more surprise.
5 the lens is big, but we don’t know if it’s interchangable or have a viewfinder. can we get all the things we want? i don’t think so.
