(FT2) More Panasonic GH1 successor rumors…

Share

I just received following mail:

“Hi. I’ve seen you rumor on GH2 coming in 2Q 2010. That would concur with my information. As I live in Korea, where there is no import of  GH1, I contacted sales dept. asking if they will import in March GH2. The answer was, yes they are planning to import all GH models from now on, but GH2 will be release same time as in Japan….by the end of summer. I don’t know how reliable is sales dept. of Panasonic Korea, but they seems confident that GH2 won’t be on the market before the summer is over. Hope they are wrong, but combing it with what you posted today seems like G2 will be on PMA and GH2 later on this year.”

I don’t know if we can trust sales dept. I hope he doesn’t tell the truth!

(FT5) UPDATED-> First leaked image of the new Olympus MFT!

Share

Finally 43rumors found the first leaked image on an asian forum. It has been removed after few minutes but a reader sent us the screenshot! :)

I post the official Olympus image for comparison. You can see the leaked image uses has the 14-42mm lens and the official Olympus image the 17mm lens

The camera is not going to be announced on February 2nd but later. It has a plastic body and it is priced cheaper than the Olympus E-P1!

UPDATE: From trusted source: autofocus is a little faster ;)
UPDATE2: Corrected-> same E-P1 sensor!
UPDATE3: Corrected -> It has one new feature (we will tell you soon)…if it is what I have in mind than it’s HOT!!!
UPDATE4: Name E-Pxx (two unknown numbers/letters)
UPDATE5: New Kit-Lens for the E-Pxx!
UPDATE6: That’s only speculation…but could it have the In-Body EVF we are all waiting for? (). I know I am dreaming only :)
UPDATE7: A close look to the pictures do suggest there will be a built-in pop-up flash. Maybe that’s the new feature our sources were talking about!
UPDATE8: It’s slightly thinner and slightly smaller.
UPDATE9: A size comparison between the E-P1 and the new leaked camera is available here: https://43rumors.com/ft3-e-p1-vs-e-pxx-size-comparison/
