A source told us the E-M5II has the same E-M1 electronic viewfinder. So no big surprise here too. The real major new feature is the multi-shot sensor shift tech. let’s hope this will makes us “WOW” when we will know exactly how this works…

Specs known so far:
Same E-M5 16MP sensor
Same E-M1 electornic viewfinder.
Update processor (improves slightly the IQ)
No PDAF
New sensor shift shooting that allows to combine 8 pictures in one to create a 40 Megapixel image
Improved 5 axis stabilization
It does have clean hdmi-out
all common frame rates and video optimized af-algorithm.
50Mb/s all 1080p (no 4K recording)

On top you see the first image of the new ECG-2 grip attached on the new Olympus E-M5II. It certainly looks like a very well done package. The E-M5II and the new accessories and lenses will be announced during the first week of February.

One weird note: The image has been leaked on an Asian forum and there is again a strange anti Olympus message that says “Olympus has betrayed us“. Really weird story those kind of leaks with stupid messages on it.

It’s basically a Panasonic “selfie” optimized camera. And it’s a very compact one. Seen that there is also a Pink version the main target for the camera could be women that want to carry a good quality but also very compact camera.

Over the weekend new images of the GF7, E-M5II and accessories leaked out. Let’s see in this post how the Panasonic GF7 compares esthetically with the GF6 and GM1. I repat that the hump on the GF7 is not a viewfinder and I don’t think it’s for the IBIS either.

GF7 specs:
– 16MP sensor
– ISO 200-25,600
– 1.04 million dot titlting LCD monitor (180 degrees)
– no 4K recording- Come with 12-32mm kit lens.

The camera will be announced within the next 2-3 days. So stay tune on 43rumors!
