(FT3) Olympus is working on a new E-M5 successor!

[shoplink 29074 ebay]

[/shoplink] Two different new sources told me that Olympus is definitely working on a new [shoplink 29074 ebay]E-M5 successor[/shoplink]. But none of them was sure if such a camera would come at photokina or (most likely) in early 2015. Both sources had no specs to share but guaranteed the info comes via their highly trustworthy Olympus contacts. I think the chance is pretty high the E-M5 successor will come in early 2015 and NOT(!) at Photokina.

It reminds a bit of mystery for me if it makes sense to release such a camera. Olympus seems to follow the PEN route by releasing many slightly different versions of the same model. So what is the new E-M5 successor going to be? It cannot be better than the [shoplink 41667 ebay]E-M1[/shoplink] (otherwise it would kill the E-M1 sales). It cannot be just a minimal E-M5 upgrade (we already have an [shoplink 47360 ebay]E-M10[/shoplink] for that). What should it be? In my opinion two OMD models are just enough. But I am a nobody, and maybe Olympus knows it better…
