Rumors classification explained (FT= FourThirds):
FT1=1-20% chance the rumor is correct
FT2=21-40% chance the rumor is correct
FT3=41-60% chance the rumor is correct
FT4=61-80% chance the rumor is correct
FT5=81-99% chance the rumor is correct

CameraBeta posted what they claim to be the LX200 specs:

20-megapixel Live MOS sensor (from Sony)
DFD focusing to achieve focusing speed in 0.07 seconds.
Larger OLED viewfinder.
GX8 alike tiltable LCD.
Built-in ND filter.
Highest ISO 51200.
More filter effects.
Built-in flash.

But really, dont know if that’s a somehow reliable rumor or just a good guess (I think it’s the latter).

Postel is showing us what’s coming next from Olympus. And both cameras do have an unusual name

1. Olympus Sylus TG-Tracker
2. Olympus IM001

The cameras will be announced within the next few weeks. I guess the Stylus Tracker is the rumored action camera we wrote about two months ago. A source told me that camera is compatible with all current GoPro accessories.

The so far only Android powered Panasonic “camera” is the [shoplink 58774 ebay]Lumix CM1[/shoplink]

StuffTV reports:

At a round table session at Panasonic Benelux, Panasonic’s Michiharu Uematsu told Stuff Netherlands that an Android-powered camera would be on the way “very soon”. “The interface from our cameras is sometimes experienced as too difficult,” Uematsu explained. “This will be solved quickly [with Android]. It’s an open OS and easy to use.”

I would be surprised to see Panasonic using Android on MFT cameras. So far the implementation we saw was made on the [shoplink 58774 ebay]Panasonic Lumix CM1[/shoplink]. What do you think about it?

Thanks Jan for finding and sharing this!

[shoplink 56524 ebay][/shoplink] Image on top shows the [shoplink 56524 ebay]OM 50mm f/1.2 lens (here on eBay)[/shoplink]

Our top sources confirmed Olympus will launch a new f/1.2 prime lens series. And today we can report with high accuracy that the first lens will be a new 25mm f/1.2 Zuiko PRO! It will ship by mid 2016. Price is yet not known and I am also not sure if Olympus will show the lens for the first time at the Cp+ show in late February.

A while ago our source “Simon” said Olympus did develop both f/1.0 and f/1.2 lenses. But did choose to produce the f/1.2 only:

“Why ? The production cost for the f1.0 were double as for the f1.2. And the size was 43 % bigger and the wight 230g more. The f1.0 is around 620g. Don’t forget with two very quick & silent autofocus Engine. But we will see no f 1.0. it is the same Story like FT E-7 vs. MFT EM-1. and here it is a question of invest in more glas, what means more expensive + more wight. The diameter was 68mm. so to big and to haevy for mft . The autofocus of the New f1.2 is outstanding und works perfect together with the PEN F. 30 % quicker as EM-1 with the Same les.“

Bit of history: Olympus OM system had two f/1.2 lenses: The [shoplink 56524 ebay]50mm f/1.2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 56525 ebay]55mm f/1.2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].

Two sources confirmed that Panasonic will have a new MFT announcement within the next 4-6 weeks. I got no details yet but they said it’s not for a new GH or G series camera! I am working to get the details soon.

In the meantime answer this: what are you hoping to get from Panasonic?

As we reported weeks ago Olympus just registered a new camera named “IM001” (Source: Postel). We got early rumors about a high end fixed lens compact and of course the E-M1II. But I don’t know if “IM001” is a sort of code name for one of the two rumored cameras. So what’s your guess?
