The new E-M10 is said to be closer to the E-Pl5 in terms of body size (Image courtesy: Camerasize).

Two trusted sources added more info on the soon to be announced new OMD E-M10 camera. The camera is said to be smaller than the E-M5. It’s a sort of E-PL sized body with EVF on top. And unlike the other OMD models this one has a built-in Flash!

In summary these are the specs so far for the entry level OMD:
– 16MP sensor (same as E-M5 and with no PDAF)
– True Pic VII processor (same as E-M1)
– Very small body
– integrated flash
– 3 axis stabilization
– comes with new compact zoom as kit lens

I guess the failure or success will now be determined merely by the price of the camera. This sounds ike a nice low budget camera. So let it be really low budget :)

P.S.: There will be also a new 25mm f/1.8 lens.

DealsRunner.com spotted the cheapest Camera Plus Lens kit you can buy in Europe. It’s the Panasonic GF5 with Holga lens combo :)

The GF5 is actually a pretty nice camera and for 119 it could be fun to buy and shoot with!

(FT5) New E-M10 has 3 axis IBIS.

The E-M10 name already is present in Indonesia public registry for devices with WiFi.

Soon Olympus will announce the new E-M10 and as I told you before the E-M5 will remain for sale for a longer time. And finally I know one of the possible reasons. The E-M10 will have a 3 axis image stabilization while the E-M5 has a five axis stabilization. That way the E-M10 will have a more clear differentiation from the High End OMD which is the E-M1.

That part got confirmed via multiple sources: The E-M10 has the same E-M5 sensor with E-M1 image processor. 25mm f/1.8 and new compact zoom coming too!

The Panasonic built Leica T type will not be MFT.

As reported on MirrorlessRumors the Panasonic built Leica T type mirrorless camera will be launched in April. And it’s now pretty save to say that this camera will not feature a Micro Four Thirds mount. Panasonic will make the camera and zoom lenses for the new Leica system.

It has still to be seen if Panasonic will ever join the system. Very unlikely if the sensor has the APS-C size. More likely if the camera uses a Full Frame sensor…
