There has been a long silence around the OM Digital strategy for MFT. The OM-5 and OM-1 cameras were smaller updated to existing Olympus cameras. And I was hoping OM Digital would not become like Pentax: Releasing a model from time to time with only minor upgrades. But now I finally got confirmation about one “product”. Will post something about it soon. If you know “something” about this product and want to share that info to me contact me at 43rumors@gmail.com or use this anonymous contact box. Thanks!

CameraBeta claims to know that the G100II is coming soon. It says the camera will have the following specs:

• 25.2MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds Sensor
• 779-Point Phase-Detection AF System
• 4K 60p 4:2:2 10-Bit Video Recording
• Single UHS-II SD Slots

We know the Blogger market is booming so it would make sense for Panasonic to update the current G100.

Panasonic now has a total of TWO cameras registered in China. Usually it takes up to a couple of months until registered models get officially announced:

• Camera “P2303A” has dual 5.1/2.4GHz support indicating it’s a mode advanced model (Could be GH7 or SR1II)
• Camera “P2301A” has 2.4GHz support “only” which indicates this is a more entry level model (Could be fixed lens camera or entry level MFT or some BG video model)

Panasonic officially registered a new and yet to be announced camera model. As you can see from the table above the camera was listed on September 28. We learn two info from this table:

1. The camera supports 5.1 and 2.4 GHz. This usually means it’s not a low end camera model
2. The G9II was announced two months after the registration, so it should not take long until this model gets announced

We don’t know yet if this is a MFT or L-mount camera. But for sure the GH6 NEEDS to get an update asap :)

It really appears to be just an Olympus TG6 with OM logo on it. Only the grip seems to be a bit different. The camera will be announced within a couple of hours.
