(FT5) Olympus registered a new camera in Russia. It’s the E-M10III.

The Russian agency registered a new Olympus camera. The code of the camera is “IM006”. But I can tell you via my trusted sources this is for the new E-M10III. And the Russian registration spoiled a few details confirming our rumors. The IM006 uses the BLS-50 battery, the BCS-5 charger and it comes in three kits (body only, EZ kit and double kit zoom).

Expect the E-M10III to be announced within the next 6-8 weeks!
