- May include 4K
- Advance AF System dictated for Sports shooting / professional use
- Big improvements in core specification compared to current E-M1 models
- Price will remain same as E-M1
Details of the discussion as published betwwen ROB and Oly Representatives
I visited the LCE (London Camera Exchange) PRO CAMERA Show this morning in Southamton (UK). Both Olympus and Panasonic had stands and I had a chat with the reps from both camps to see if I could glean any news on upcoming models ! Lo and behold – Speaking to one of the Olympus Reps I was told that the EM1 Mk2 is definitely going to be launched at Photokina and will be on sale in October 2016. The new camera is said to be vastly (and this was reiterated) improved compared to the EM1. Several aspects of performance will be much improved including video which ‘ may’ include 4K ?
What will definately be improved is the ability of the new camera to be used for sports photography Olympus are said to be trying to further penetrate the PRO market and improving performance for sports photography is seen as an important goal to achieve increased PRO level recognition, sales and use. I mentioned that I enjoy motorsports photography and was told that the Mk2 would DEFINATELY be much improved for that type of fast moving capture. The rep advised that Olympus were going to put a lot of effort into a much bigger launch of the EM1 Mk2 and staff were already working on and towards the launch.
With regard to 4K or no 4K on the new model I was told that there were hidden barriers to adopting this technology as Panasonic and other companies held ‘rights’ to some aspects to the technology involved and were more able to implement 4K at reasonable cost compared to what Olympus would have to pay in order to use it. It wasn’t clear whether 4K would be included but it certainly wasn’t ruled out . If true this perhaps explains (at least partly) why Olympus has been slow to adopt the technology.
With regard to the pricing of the new model I was told that despite the newer version being a huge improvement over the Mk1 there was no intention to increase the price significantly over the price of the EM1 – I would expect this to be with regard to pricing at launch – the EM1 being approximately £1300.00 (UK) at launch if I remember correctly.
Obviously much of this should be taken with a pinch of salt but from what was being said I think we can definately expect sales to commence before the end of the year and a launch at Photokina
Regards
Rob

Olympus Fullframe Mirrorless Shoutout now started worldwide as more and more websites started talking about possible Olympus fullframe Mirrorless camera announcement. (Ok that clearly means we are not alone)
The Rumor started when we have seen first Olympus patent of Fullframe lens and at the same moment we told you that Olympus does working on a fulframe camera and sooner or later we will see such thing.
Mann ki Baat….
Why Olympus Moving towards Fullframe Mirrorless?
People always want some good change and after looking at the skyrocketing sales record of Sony A7 series camera the Olympus also trying to Jump on the same ship.
Olympus Turning into third party Lens manufacturer ?
Some websites also told us and the world that Olympus will make lenses for Sony A7 series Mirrlress camera. But Keep in mind that Olympus is not a third party lens manufacturer only, they have the capability to develop a full-frame mirrorless camera.
Olympus Future ?
Yes, it’s a big question since Olympus is the vital member of 43 format group. Once Olympus get into fullframe mirrorless business the 4/3 mount cameras development may get slow down, Just like Sony slowed down the development of SLT series camera after Sony E and FE mount based camera announcement.
and Panasonic?
Panasonic already have the cashcow? .. they don’t need fullframe sensor based camera… more to come…

before Olympus announced the leaked E-PL8 camera, we have done a image comparison with the old one. Take a look below
 From the image comparison you can see the upcoming camera design is more compact and looks solid compared to the old E-PL7 model. The hand-grip of the camera is now modified and looks more attractive to eyes, the lens release button design also has been tweaked.
 If we look at the rear side of both the camera we are not able to notice any major difference between the layout, both of them look approx same.
We will add specification comparison review here as soon as we get more information about the camera.
