Strong hints that the G9II might be announced soon!
I got first serious “proof” that a new G9II (or whatever the name will be) is coming “very soon”. The source is very important so unless he is fooling me…the G9 successor is coming within a couple of months!
I have no info on the possible specs yet but surely it will have phase detection AF!
(FT4) OM Digital might announce the 50-200mm f/2.8 and 50-250mm f/4.0 in late 2023!
OM Digital is teasing the launch of two tele zoom lenses. According to three anonymous sources these might be the lenses:

OM Digital recognizes MFT doesn’t sell in China, and want’s to do “something”
A source told me that OM Digital had a deep discussion about what to do to succeed on the Chinese market. And the one major reason for weak sales has been identified: OM Digital doesn’t offer any high megapixel camera. If they want to succeed on the Chinese market future cameras like the E-M1XII need to have a higher resolution sensor.
Let’s see if OM Digital will really make such a camera!
(FT4) New OM 50-200mm f/2.8 PRO lens coming in late summer?

Two OM Digital telephoto lens specs will be unveiled the second half of the year
One source hinted that both telephoto lenses that are on OM Digital’s roadmap will be unveiled in 2023. No clue if they will also be available by late 2023 or if one of those lenses might be on market in early 2024 only.
Wild rumor: Xiaomi trying to fit a MFT sensor inside a future flagship smartphone!
As you might have heard the latest Xiaomi 13 smartphone uses a large 1 inch sensor. I now got a wild rumor from a source, saying that Xiaomi is trying to fit a full Four Thirds sensor inside their next flagship. Basically this would double the size of the 1 inch sensor which to me sounds like a super challenging task. But if they pull it off it would be simply stunning to have a smartphone with something like a OM-1 sensor inside!
