A reader sent me this (Thanks!):

I don’t know if you just saw the last the “Easter eggs” that have been publishing in the Youtube channel of Lumix Camera with Sean.
In the video live of “LUMIX Live : Remote Workflow with Matt Frazer” there is a binary code that leads to the wikipedia page of “eastern eggs”
In the last video that have been published “LUMIX Live : Resolutions” the binary code leads to this website: https://shop.panasonic.com/lumix/countdown
So it looks like the GH6 is very close!

The official specs shared by Panasonic are (GH6 specs at BHphoto):

• New Micro Four Thirds Sensor
• Updated Venus Engine Image Processor
• 5.7K 60p Video, 10-Bit Sampling
• DCI 4K 10-Bit 4:2:2, Unlimited Recording

For a long time we didn’t get any new MFT camera, now we will get two TOP models in one month :)

The O-M1 is rumored to be announced on February 15th and feature following specs:

• 20mp(yes,IMX472)
• 120fps 12-bit RAW DCI
• 4K60P 10-bit 4:2:2
• Improved AF tracking
• astro tracking

Here is the sensor spec sheet (You can download the PDF here):

Weibo user CarrodRen claims to know that

1. The new OM-D camera will be unveiled on February 15th
2. The camera wills till have the name “Olympus” on it
3. The new camera name should be named “OM-1” according to PR.

Not sure what to think about this. Drop me an anonymous message using this contact box or at 43rumors@gmail.com if you can confirm or debunk this. Thanks!

I still have no reliable specs on the new OMD camera that will be announced on February 24th. All I got from “other” sources is that it might uses a new 24mp BSI non-stacked sensor. Sounds odd the camera uses a “non-stacked” sensor. Moreover Sony has a 21MP stacked fT sensor ready for use:

Don’t know what sense it would make to go for a 24mp non stacked sensor…

I now got word that around mid February press people will get their hands on the new camera. This may be a strong evidence that the camera is indeed ready for mass production. On February 24th we shall get a FULL announcement with preorder option and shipment starting within 1-2 months.
