Something is brewing at PIE Japan! (m4/3)

headfonz · 27th March 2009

looks like Olympus's micro four-thirds will be the successor of the Pen series.

can't wait to see whats under the blue cloth...

this is gonna be gooooood

drakon09 · 27th March 2009

Hehe yep.

I always believed they wouldn't differ much from the Photokina mockup.

Potentially polarising though; it's one of those designs you either love or hate.

It's

here for sure!

the cigarette box model seems set for release.

whatever is under the blue cloth looks much larger than the cigarette box mock-up. a pro-spec m4/3 model?

spidey89 · 27th March 2009

could be the same body different colour with a tele lens?

headfonz · 27th March 2009

the body / back looks taller than that...somehow it looks like a panasonic L1 under the cloth.

drakon09 · 27th March 2009

That thing jutting out may be an EVF.

And a pro-spec model would rock, for sure.

short OT post, from the olympus booth at PIE.

I WANT THIS

drakon09 · 27th March 2009

Fwah... E-3 Military Model!!!!

diCam · 27th March 2009

It's a teaser. Similar to what Olympus had done for E-3 before it's official announcement. Strip-tease effect?

holidaydom · 27th March 2009

Oh crap - now we'll need to buy new lenses to get them color-coordinated!

K3N · 27th March 2009

OMG.. Olympus Pen F revival and followed later in the thread with the safari green E-3.

I think the green E-3 is for Olympus's Global warming witness project (Mr Iwago).

microcosm · 27th March 2009

I have a weak heart...I am going to close the thread...

microcosm · 27th March 2009

Just kidding...

the green E-3...Time to save and shop...

Kirika · 27th March 2009

*hugs her e3* Nuh uh. It's not camo. Temasek green won't cut it.

If you ask me, the thing under the cloth will be...the in-body IS version of the m4/3 range! And that's my next camera if I'm right =p
