(FT 3) Kawuuum! Russian rumor close but not close enough?

New micro four thirds rumors from Russia!

Basic specifications:

LiveMos 12 megapixel LiveMos
ISO range will be reduced: from 100 to 800
together with the camera will be released / announced lenses with fixed focal length of 14/2.8, 25 / 2, 50/2.8, and 14-75/3.5-5.6 – a lens with variable focal length, it seems, as planned in the state of KIT’a

Close but may not real enough?

Can someone translate it for us? Google translate is not working very well…

THANKS!

(FT 2) first possible human specifications list rumor for the Olympus micro four thirds camera

Received an email from a completely unknown source. The specifications sounds credible but I believe they are not right. Time will prove it:

Olympus Pn100

– 12 Megapixel

– 2,7 swifel LCD

– No EVF

– 720 24fps

– Art-filter

– Built-in flash

– external viewfinder avaiable

– sold with 14-45 kit lens

UPDATE:
– 100-3200 ISO
– AVCHD lite video compression

UPDATE 2:

UPDATE:
One of our BIG sources told us this specs are close to the real one. Only the name is completely wrong apart the “P” !!!!!!!!!!!
He will share the specifications soon when they will be definitive…

-two sources told us the LCD will be 3.0 big !!!
-We are not certain if it will be swifel!

Sorry for the confusion but right after we published the rumor from before our more affidable sources wrote us the name camera will be different named.
