Damian Mc GilliCuddy just posted this: “Uncle “Oly” has sent me a nice parcel this week… very smart! I’ll tell more when I’m able ;0)“. Guess what camera they sent him :)

The image on top is the new teaser from Olympus Singapore. But we already know how it looks uncovered :)

Reminder: Follow 43rumors live tomorrow (Friday) at 6am London time! That’s when all that new Olympus stuff will be officially unveiled. And I will be here with plenty of live updated to reviews, tests, image samples and so on.

The Olympus E-P5 will be the first camera with the full “Olympus Pen” definition marked on the front. It’s a clear sign from Olympus that they consider the new E-P5 the real digital [shoplink 37006 ebay]PEN-F[/shoplink]. Too bad they forgot to made the built-in viewfinder that the PEN-F has :) As you know the PEN-F has “porro prism viewfinder” that allowed them to create a very compact camera with viewfinder.

Some of you said that the built-in exclusivity of the OMD range. Just for the record: Last year  Mr. Tarada told at Onfoto (Click here) that “A built-in viewfinder is not exclusive for the OM-D line”.

P.S.: There are still plenty of PEN-F auctions on [shoplink 37006 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

There was only one image not leaked until now. But now its’ here: The Black 45mm f/1.8 lens! via Digicaminfo.

The Silver 45mm lens like so many other Olympus camera and lenses got a price drop in USA:
The 17mm f/1.8 sells for $449 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
The 45mm sells for $349 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
The 75mm f/1.8 can be found with a $100 discount at [shoplink 38467 ebay]CameraLand (Click here)[/shoplink].
60mm macro is available for $449 at [shoplink 38470 ebay]CameraLand (Click here)[/shoplink].
E-P3 with lens for $379 at Amazon (Click here) and Adorama (Click here).
Olympus E-PM2 at Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).

This is the new E-PL6 and as I told you before it’s meant to be solt in Japane only! I guess you will have to wait next year and the E-PL7 worldwide edition to replace your E-PL5.

There is no more secret left on the new E-P5 that is goint to be announced on Friday at 6am London time. Here are some new pictures of the three different colored models. This is the “Premium” E-P5 with super glossy grip :)

I now got the prices in YEN of the new Olympus Black Lenses:

The 17mm f/1.8 will ship in September for 62,475 yen
The 45mm f/1.8 will ship in June for 36,750 yen
The 75mm f/18 will also ship in June for 124,950 yen

I checked the YEN prices of the Silver Lenses at Amazon Japan. The Black Lenses will have the same official price of the Silver counterpart. Of course you can now find the Silver lenses for a cheaper price here and there. But that’s because they are no on market for a longer time. Examples:
Cheapest 75mm price in Europe for 786 Euro in [shoplink 38565 ebay]France (WebDistribution eBay)[/shoplink]. In USA some demo lenses for $799 at [shoplink 38467 ebay]CameraLand (Click here)[/shoplink].
Cheapest 45mm price in Europe for 269 Euro in [shoplink 38567 ebay]Italy (g-comm-shop eBay)[/shoplink]. In USA for $349 at Amazon (Click here).
Cheapest 17mm price in Europe for 472 Euro in [shoplink 38568 ebay]UK (SrsMicroSystem eBay)[/shoplink]. In USA for $449 at Amazon (Click here).
