(FT3) High End OM camera coming within the next 6 months? E-M5 price drop this winter.
The special Olympus adapter patent (via Egami).
Two (anonymous) sources sent me the same short and precise message. The High End digital OM camera is already in the final testing phase. And one of the sources wrote that the actual [shoplink 29074]Olympus E-M5[/shoplink] will get a price drop this winter because of the new E-Mx camera. I hope trusted sources are reading this and can confirm (or deny) the rumor soon. Meantime thanks to the two new sources for sending me this! Hope you can share us some more bits about the cam soon!
I have no specs yet but as I told you back in January Olympus managers said that they are focusing on the viewfinder technology. So this camera may be able to use both electronic and optical viewfinders but in a different way than the Fuji X PRO 1. It may will use a special adapter with built-in mirror instead. We already have seen some patents regarding this from Olympus and Sony NEX adapter (Click here) and even better the [shoplink 31778 ebay]Leica Visoflex (here on eBay)[/shoplink] prove that this is a realizable goal. But that’s just pure speculation for now.
Have an idea…may you write here what you would expect form a High End OM camera? What should it have? Will than put a poll on that!
