I got two more information about the new Panasonic G80 camera (name not confirmed yet) that will be announced on September 19:
Source 1:
It isn’t an entry level G7/G70 – it’s a step up Weathersealing and next level Dual IS are the main feature improvements. 4:2:2 8bit recording on SD card!
Source 2:
“It is basically a G7 updated to GX85 internal specs. They did not have the name nailed down at the meeting”

Like I told you a few days ago this lens is no more available on preorder at Amazon US. I guess we wills till have to wait months before Olympus will produce enough of those…
For months now I am repeating that Olympus will launch three new lenses! And Nokishita just confirmed my rumors were 100% spot on and leaked those lor resolution images fo the new lenses:

Anonymous: “Upcoming OMD EM1 + PRO 12-40mm f/2.8 kit sale. My local (USA) dealer told me yesterday that Olympus will be offering the subject bundle for $1400 within a month or so. Quite a bargain as they try to clear out EM-1 inventory.”
Fredrik: “I made a video comparing ISO from 400 – 6400 on skin tones with the GX85 and the Nocticron 42,5mm. I think it looks very good up to 1600. From 3200 and up you should consider applying some noise reduction.

Thomas: “Hi Andrea, I was recently testing the GX8 in Hamburgs “entertainment” district and also made a comparison of the GX8 and GX80/85 in London. My point of view is how these cams work in street photography… GX8 at Reeperbahn/Hamburg: http://bit.ly/28VHvYK GX8 and GX80/85 in London: http://bit.ly/2c2zYbP“
