I got this from another trusted source:

“e-m1 II has 4k, dual SDcard slot, new TruPic and new AF”

It confirms the repvious rumors we posted here.

This is a short summary of the Olympus E-M1II spec list we got so far from our sources:

20MP sensor (made by Sony)
4K video (first Olympus camera with 4K)
Dual SD card slot
Handheld High Resolution mode
Much improved autofocus performance
new high-resolution EVF
Announcement at Photokina in September
It has no global shutter. But Olympus worked hard to reduce rolling shutter to a negligible level

You like this so far? :)

In case you missed this because of the weekend vacation read this: Lesnumeriques, got information that Panasonic will axe the GF and GM line. From now on they will keep adding models to the G, GX and GH line only.

 Loading ...

The GM5 is currently on closeout deal at Adorama.

According to the french website Lesnumeriques, Panasonic will drop the GM and GF camera line to focus solely on G, GX and GH lines. This should lead to more clarity and logic for the consumers.

And to distinguish the level range they will use that digit code: “1 digit for professional housing, 2 digits to the expert, 3 digits for the amateur and 4 digits for the beginner. This is exactly the logic chosen by Canon for its EOS SLR.” says Lesnumeriques.

Yep this makes sense…

[SPECULATION] Lumix GH5 vs Canon EOS 5DmkIV

Stroenz posted another of his speculation videos based on some of the rumors running on the web. Have some fun watching this :)

Roberto spotted the GH4 on clearance in a UK store at Currys in Purley, Croydon. That store is no more ordering a new Stock of GH4 cameras and is likely to wait til the GH5 gets announced. Photokina is coming, let’s just hope Kumamoto didn’t delay the GH5 shipment time!

I just found a brand newly published Olympus patent describing the a new f/1.4 prime lens line for a yet non existing Olympus Full Frame system! The lenses do have a highly complex lens design suggesting these will deliver a high quality performance. The patented lens versions are:

17mm f/1.4 (7 cm total lens lenght)
25mm f/1.4 (8 cm total lens lenght)
25mm f/1.4 (13 cm total lens lenght)
28mm f/1.4 (13 cm total lens lenght)
35mm f/1.4 (13 cm total lens lenght)
50mm f/1.4 (13 cm total lens lenght)

So the question seems no more to be “if” Olympus will make a FF system but more when they will announce it!
