I just got those images of a soon to be announced new Yongnuo 42,5mm f/1.7 MFT lens. Got no info about possible price and release date yet…

Thanks to the anonymous source!

Image on top shows the current E-M5II model

I now have learned that the E-M5III will be announced on October 17 and feature the “same” 20 MP sensor of the predecessor. Of course there will be a new processor that will improve the IQ. But it definitely sounds like this camera is going to be an incremental evolution of the current E-M5II model.

And unlike what reported by some the E-M5III has not a “surprise” new feature. Don’t trust those sites :)

E-M5III rumor summary:
Announcement on October 17 (99% certain)
Same E-M1II sensor with 121 cross-type phase detection pixels. (80% certain)
New processing engine (90% certain)
Lighter, more plasticky but still weather sealed body (60% certain)
Same BLS-50 battery of the PEN and E-M10 camera series (60% certain)
