(FT5) E-M5III will be announced on October 17 and feature the “same” 20 MP sensor

I now have learned that the E-M5III will be announced on October 17 and feature the “same” 20 MP sensor of the predecessor. Of course there will be a new processor that will improve the IQ. But it definitely sounds like this camera is going to be an incremental evolution of the current E-M5II model.

And unlike what reported by some the E-M5III has not a “surprise” new feature. Don’t trust those sites :)

E-M5III rumor summary:
Announcement on October 17 (99% certain)
Same E-M1II sensor with 121 cross-type phase detection pixels. (80% certain)
New processing engine (90% certain)
Lighter, more plasticky but still weather sealed body (60% certain)
Same BLS-50 battery of the PEN and E-M10 camera series (60% certain)

Olympus 12-200mm review at Imaging Resource

Imaging Resource field tested the Olympus 12-200mm lens. The conclusion:

The Olympus 12-200mm f/3.5-6.3 lens continues a long tradition of impressive and versatile lenses in Olympus’ Micro Four Thirds lineup. It’s not the best-performing lens I’ve ever used, but it can produce good images across its entire focal length range, as long as you understand its limitations at longer focal lengths. Further, it offers a zoom range you simply don’t often find in a single lens. With one optic, you cover everything from landscapes to wildlife and everything in between. Plus, the lens can focus quite closely, allowing it to act as a pseudo-macro lens. For the price, you get an incredible amount of versatility and generally impressive performance.

The Olympus 12-200mm is in Stock for the first time at GetOlympus, Adorama and Bhphoto
