(FT4) UPDATED: New High End OMD may just be the Silver E-M1 :(

UPDATE: One of our good sources contacted me to say that unlike some speculation made by our readers the new OMD camera that Olympus will launch in September is neither a E-M5 replacement nor a complete new OMD model. And I got word from two sources that the new OMD may be just a new Silver E-M1 with new firmware update.

This means no real NEW OMD camera is coming at Photokina. Hope other sources will contact me to confirm or deny the rumor.
