A source just sent me three additional info about the new GH5 that will be announced on January 4th at 10am Las Vegas time.
1. Slow motion up to 180 fps!
2. much larger number of focus point: 225 vs 49 in the GH4.
3. Same body weather sealing as the E M1 II – up to minus 10 degrees of cold.
He also confirmed our previous rumors about the GH5 having a new 20MP sensor with 5 axis ibis and 2 SD card slots are correct.

You connect the dots! ;-)”

James: “I received my preordered Olympus EM1 II camera yesterday. I am not a happy camper. Because this camera is so fast, I ordered a 128-GB Lexar Professional SDXC II 300 MB/s card for this camera. This card refused to format in the Olympus.
The slower 256–GB Lexar Professional 150 MB/s SDXC II card formatted. However, when I took a long movie as a test, the camera froze up, and this card was totally trashed. It is not recognized by either the camera, Windows, or MacOS. Hopefully, Lexar will replace it. I could not even turn the camera off. I had to pull the battery.
Then, I was assured by Olympus via an e-mail (that alas I cannot find) that it could take movies longer than 29 minutes by seamlessly opening a new file when the 4 GB limit is reached. If this mode exists for 4k movies, I cannot find it. Every movie mode I try shows 20 minutes remaining at the start. I take symphony videos, and this makes the camera useless.
