A new source told me that the “teaser camera” is something like a E-P1, but with a plastic body.
And Olympus will also unveil a new ultra-zoom camera with a 30X zoom range.

That is what one of my trusted sources are “suggessting” me: “the camera will not be what people expect“…. (No MFT?).

UPDATE: Olympus will also announce a new Tough camera (very likely not the one shown in the teaser):
A “supposed” Olympus product tester wrote inside the bogley.com forum that “they are coming out with an updated Tough series camera soon – hush hush. Can’t give away details but it’s even better than before! Thus, as I await for the new camera to arrive I’ll be selling my old one… ”

Private message: I am receiving so many rumors news and emails that I had to take one day holiday from my real job. Today I will read all the emails and rumors again and I hope i will not forget to answer you all :)

New compact camera or MicroFourThirds?

The teaser has been posted inside the Stylus Though section. So may it is not a MicroFourThirds camera. The official MicroFourThirds section doesn’t show the teaser!

Need some help from my trusted sources: Please send your rumors to 43rumors@gmail.com! :)

UPDATE -1: it could be a new Low-Entry compact camera with big 4/3 sensor. Something like the Sigma DP2

UPDATE -2: A veeeery reliable source sent me this “Don’t be distracted on the 2nd. Keep your eye on the prize.”

Just received this:

“Hi, just some supportive information with regards to the release of new Olympus fourthirds models:
An Olympus source stated that new models (not compacts) would be released in the beginning of february, so if not on the 2nd, then shortly after. And they would be able to supply me with one in the beginning of March (but whether that is before or after the official release date, I do not know). I neither have information of whether there will be one or two model. “
