Two trusted sources now told me that OM Digital has postponed the launch of the OM-5. The camera was indeed expected to be announced in Summertime but the new timeframe for an announcement is late September / early October.

A source told me that the upcoming OM-5 will NOT replace the E-M5III. The E-M5II will stay in production.
The OM-5 will be announced in July/August. Not sure about the specs yet but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it using the same new OM-1 sensor…
An anonymous source sent me this. And I honestly find it unlikely that the OM-1 would have such a new high resolution sensor:
OM System OM-5 is a 41 megapixels BSI live-MOS Sensor (total 47M) camera with 20fps sequential shooting.
I am posting this because I think the same person is sharing this info to multiple websites and I want to express my doubts on this. Can trusted sources give me some feedback on it? All I know is that the OM-5 is likely to be announced in July/August….

Two trusted sources confirmed that Om Digital will announce the new OM-5 in July. I still have no specs but I have been told this is not the replacement of E-M5 Mark III. Easy to guess this will be an OM-1 minus some features and minus $$$ :)
I hope that OM Digital will be able to solve their production shortages with the OM-1 before the OM-5 comes out!
A trusted source told me that there will be a new OM Digital camera in July.
I am working to confirm the details and will post something about it soon…
The Leica 9mm f/1.7 might be announced next week already:
At this point I do believe the lens might be announced early next week!
Here are the full lens specs:
