The only new thing appears to be the CP button. Only silver and black appeared on the site. No photos of the rear. The kit prices can’t be right if the silver and black lenses are very different spec and both were GBP 1699. It looks like it was being set up / tested.
UPDATE: Here is the Black OM-5II
Thansk Andrew!
OM-5II will come in three color options
A source (Thanks!) told me this:
The new Om-5 Mkii has a new colour option on the ordering pages for dealers . “Beige”. There are also options for “black” and “Silver” .
Pricing is almost identical to the OM-5 , so don’t expect the stacked sensor from the Om-1 .

First leaked image of the new OM-5II
A trusted source (Thanks!) just sent me this leaked image of the new OM-5II that will be announced on June 17 at the BildExpo event. At first glance I can only see a few esthetical changes over the current OM-5 camera. The dials and shutter button are now full Black instead of Silver. We also see the OM-5II name on top of the camera.
From what I understood the specs are just about the same of the OM-5 with some minor tweaks here and there like the addition of 5‑axis Sync IS, finer IS correction and probably some additional software features.
The OM-5II seems like a very limited upgrade compared to the OM-5…
the BH BildExpo event.
Two sources told me to not expect too much from the new OM-5III that is going to be announced on June 17. Seems like this is a very small incremental update over the current OM-5 camera.

OM-5II with new stacked sensor coming on June 17?
the BH BildExpo event.
A new source told me this about the rumored OM camera launch on June 17:
I just learned from a very reliable source that OM are preparing to launch a new camera, presumably the OM5‘s successor, on the 17th of June. I’ve also been told the new camera will have the stacked sensor.
