E-M1II

I posted about that scenario many months ago: Olympus the E-M1II camera with two different sensors: One with the Sony 20MP sensor and one with an Olympus designed sensor produced by Sony. And now taratataaa! fingers crossed that the following rumor is true:

Just now I got two different hints from two sources that Olympus opted to launch the E-M1II with their own designed sensor! I am now working to confirm this rumor via trusted sources. I hope they are reading this and they will confirm or deny that rumor soon!

All other E-M1II specs are confirmed:

4k
improved image stabilization system
Handheld high resolution mode
dual SD card slot
improved AF

What you see on the graph on top are the first tangible results of the Kumamoto earthquake damages. Camera shipment of Japanese companies reached a record low ever for the month of May and June (Source CIPA-PDF file here).. As you know Olympus had to delay the E-PL8 camera launch due the Sony sensor production stop. it’s also rumored that the E-M1II and Gh5 could ship much later than previously expected. And regarding the GH5, rumors are getting stronger that the launch might NOT happen at Photokina at all!

Anonymous: “The GX8, whose sales are comatose, is being sold at a blowout price in Canada. https://shopping.panasonic.ca/products/On-Sale-Items/index.aspx?lang=en&c=SPL
Remember, the GX85 was introduced only 9 months after the GX8, and is now selling better than the GX8.”
