Olympus roadmap (Click on image to enlarge)
I am 100% sure in mid February we will get the new E-M1III. But there is also a 50% chance we might get the new 12-45mm f/4.0 MFT lens too! Hope I can confirm this via other sources soon…
It’s unclear yet if Olympus will also announce the final pricing of the 150-400mm MFT lens (image below). I heard this lens will be production ready for this summer only :(
We got that image of a new 50mm f/2.8 MFT lens. No info about pricing and exact availability yet.
CameraBeta reports that Venus Optics will announce six new Laowa branded lenses in 2020:
9mm f/5.6
11mm f/4.5
14mm f/4.0
15mm f/4.5 shift lens
50mm f/2.8
65mm macro
All of them should be available as native MFT mount version too. One more thing: CameraBeta reports that the new ARGUS f/0,95 line will be a series of lenses!
The newly released DxO PhotoLab 3.1 now supports the E-M5III.

Olympus has a built in camera feature that captures up to super high resolution RAW file of 80MP. I explore the mechanism on how this technique works in the OM-D cameras, the benefits and disadvantages of using the high res shot and also the technical restrictions that come with it. Also, how to activate and use it!
