(FT5) First image of the silver E-M10 and the cool 14-42mm lens cap

Digicameinfo posted that image of the Silver E-M10 including the new 14-42mm pancake zoom with attachable lens cap. I think I am really going to like that lens cap :)

The Silver E-M10 looks also quite good!

(FT5) The E-M5 from the new 12-40mm bundle is an “elite” version with new texture.

E-M1 vs E-M5 vs E-M10 image comparison done by DicaHub.

Yesterday we learned that Olympus will offer an E-M5 and 12-40mm lens bundle. But that E-M5 has at least one small difference over the current E-M5. This is an “elite” version that has a new texture on the body (might be the same E-M10 texture you see on the image on top). But the camera specs are exactly the same. It’s just an esthetic change!

E-M5 vs E-M10 size comparison (by Toor)

43rumors reader Toor (Source: Twitter) created that E-M5 vs E-M10 size comparison to display the differences. If you care about small size cameras you will be happy to see the new E-M10 is quite a bit smaller!

As you know the camera will be announced on January 29 at 6am London time. Be sure to be online at that time on 43rumors to follow the event live!

(FT5) Small bad news for European readers: Olympus 25mm f/1.8 and new pancake zoom to cost 399 Euro!

Last week we learned the price of the new Olympus 25mm f/1.8 lens and the new pancake zoom would be 35,000 yen in Japan. By using the current currency conversion the price would be 250€. Well the last two days I got confirmations from one trusted and one new source that Olympus will price the lens much higher than that! It will cost 399 Euro!

These are the prices:
Olympus 25 f/1.8 will cost 399€
Olympus 14-42 will cost 399€
Fisheye lenscap will cost 99€

Once again EU citizen have to pay more than US or Asian countries on camera and lenses!

For me this means I will wait for a refurbished deal at [shoplink 22691 ebay]Olympusmarket[/shoplink] to try to get them for a lower price :(

Competition rumors: First image of the Fuji OMD alike camera!

Over at Mirrorlessrumors (Click here) you can read the news about the new Fuji X-T1 camera. And as you can see from that official Fuji teaser image they are going to launch a new “OMD” styled X-mount camera on January 28 which is exactly the day before the E-M10 announcement (Jan 29).

I think it’s great news for us to have some strong competition. It will force Olympus to make an even better OMD camera for less money :)

You can follow the Fuji announcement at 6am London time on January 28 (next week) at MirrorlessRumors (Click here). it’s my official sister site where you can follow all the Mirrorless News and Rumors from the camera industry. Small note: The site is completely new and in beta stage. You can become a member and write directly your own articles for it! Test it!

And now the question. Read the rumroed specs on MR and than let me know:

Do you think the Fuji X-T1 is a strong competitor of the E-M1?
