These are the first images of the upcoming new Olympus E-M10! On top you see the silver version and below the Black camera:

Price in YEN should be as follows: ¥ 80,000 for the body only. With 14-42mm (new compact zoom) 95,000 yen. Double zoom kit is around 110,000 yen (via Digicameinfo). By using the current converter the prices in Euro and Dollars are:
– 560 Euro or 760 Dollar
– 670 Euro or 910 Dollar for the kit
– 775 Euro or 1,050 Dollar for the double lens kit

But I am pretty sure that as usual price in Dollar will be lower than the converted YEN price. For reference: The E-M5 body currently sells for $799 at Amazon US (Click here) and 700 Euro in [shoplink 29074 ebay]eBay EU stores (Click here)[/shoplink].

As I told you in my previous post the camera will be announced on January 29 at 6am London time. Be sure to be online at 43rumors on that hour to follow the event live!

Also Olympus will follow Panasonic lens miniaturization route and along the E-M10 and 25mm f/1.8 lens they will also launch a very compact zoom. I have been told size and image quality are very close to the Panasonic. One source said that the major difference is that the new Olympus zoom has a built-in protection cap just like the lens used by the Olympus Stylus 1.

No info about exact focal length and price yet. But I hope I will have them soon :)

The new E-M10 is said to be closer to the E-Pl5 in terms of body size (Image courtesy: Camerasize).

Two trusted sources added more info on the soon to be announced new OMD E-M10 camera. The camera is said to be smaller than the E-M5. It’s a sort of E-PL sized body with EVF on top. And unlike the other OMD models this one has a built-in Flash!

In summary these are the specs so far for the entry level OMD:
– 16MP sensor (same as E-M5 and with no PDAF)
– True Pic VII processor (same as E-M1)
– Very small body
– integrated flash
– 3 axis stabilization
– comes with new compact zoom as kit lens

I guess the failure or success will now be determined merely by the price of the camera. This sounds ike a nice low budget camera. So let it be really low budget :)

P.S.: There will be also a new 25mm f/1.8 lens.

The E-M10 name already is present in Indonesia public registry for devices with WiFi.

Soon Olympus will announce the new E-M10 and as I told you before the E-M5 will remain for sale for a longer time. And finally I know one of the possible reasons. The E-M10 will have a 3 axis image stabilization while the E-M5 has a five axis stabilization. That way the E-M10 will have a more clear differentiation from the High End OMD which is the E-M1.

That part got confirmed via multiple sources: The E-M10 has the same E-M5 sensor with E-M1 image processor. 25mm f/1.8 and new compact zoom coming too!
