Size comparison: E-M1II with grip vs future E-M1X and the Canon 1DX (Thanks Robert).

A trusted source told me this:

Olympus is working on a global shutter that does not read lines but the whole sensor at once. This will not be used with the E-M1X camera.

Sounds like Olympus is close to introducing these sensor on future OMD or PEN cameras coming after the E-M1X.

Olympus had discussions with multiple dealers and told the price of the E-M1X is around $3,000. Most dealers are now pushing Olympus to lower the price as thwye think $3,000 is too high. Let’s see who wins.

My guess is that Olympus will keep the $3,000 price and eventually drop the price by end of the year.

As reported on our sisther site L-rumors.com there will be no MFT to L-mount adapter from Panasonic. This was confirmed by Panasonic representatives at Paris annual Photo Show.

Long rumor source “Simon” shared some additional info on the E-M1X and two more MFT cameras:

The camera is the perfect working tool. It’s worth the high price of $3,000, I guess from what I’ve seen. Lying in the hand like the legendary E-1 (see picture on top). It’s even better balanced than the MKII. You hardly notice the little extra weight. With the 300 F4 as well as with a 45 F 1.8 the camera sticks in your hand as if glued on.

The sensor exceeds all expectations, as does the stabilizer. The camera has 3 types of high res shoots. What really pleases me is that finally the charging via 15 V USB port works. Then I can finally charge my Powerbanks via solar cells while hiking in Nepal and then connect them to the camera. But the best will be the extremely high data transfer rate when transferring live data to a server over the air.

The charger charges the battery extremely fast, thanks for the investment of an additional $4.80 in development. for those who have waited a long time, the mc-20 also comes. So, look forward to the launch of the camera at the end of january 2019 and 2 more “small cameras” next year. You will smile when you see them.

Thanks Simon!
