Unconfirmed OM-3 specs and three new “updated” lenses
Leaked image of the new OM-3
A source sent me the following info. But I have NOT been able to confirm this. So there is still a chance this might be wrong info. He wrote:
I saw the new camera. it is metal. same sensor and processor as this camera, just use a different coating on the cmos to prevent dust, a little bit improvement. it has a front dial as the penf to adjust the color saturation.
Overall made quality just like penf . top dials feel good and solid. om-1ii viewfinder and real lcd panel.
besides the looking, really nothing get exciting.
He also wrote about new lenses:
new 17mm f1.8 and 25mm they only update the looks and structure for anti dust and splash.
the old 100-400 lens now also gets update to 5 Axis lens sync IS.
Sounds all reasonable but still it has to be taken with a grain of salt. Certainly would have hoped the sensor would be completely new…but hey…that rumor might be wrong on that part :)
