According to multiple sources it seems like both new High End Cameras will be announced on September 19 but not ship until very early 2017. And while Olympus is expected to announce the full E-M1II specs and details the GH5 announcement might be only “partial”.

Reminder: These are the official press events from Olympus and Panasonic at Photokina:

1. Panasonic on September 19 at 12:30
2. Olympus on September 19 at 18:00

Both will announce new cameras and lenses:
– Olympus E-M1II
– Panasonic G80 (final name unconfirmed. Could be G81 or G85 too)
– Panasonic GH5 (pre-production cam announcement)
– Olympus 12-100mm f/4.0 PRO lens
– Olympus 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens
– Olympus 30mm f/3.5 macro

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”
