Em-10 for this year? Maybe Em-15 for 2015 and EM-20 for 2016??? I think I am contended enough with my EM5 and EM1. No more bodies for me. Only oncoming good lens for me.[/QUOTE
Yeap. Up to a certain point with upgrading bodies it's more about better glass.
Anyway if u own the EM1 , not much of a point getting the EM10 too.
Actually if the sensor is the same as EM5, IQ will not be that much superior as compared to the EM5, so I don't see the point upgrading the EM5 to EM10. EM10 in my opinion will only appeal to those who wanted to buy the EM-series of camera and find the EM1 too expensive.
Remember back in the old days with film SLRs ,
OM1, OM2 , OM3 , OM4 were the flagship models while the OM10, OM20 and so on were the consumer models ?
Hence EM1 and EM-x onwards will be flagship models while EM10 and EM-xx will be the consumer models. Hence if the rumors are true, Oly is actually sticking to its roots.
Specs wise it's also follows this pattern with the EM-10 coming in with weaker specs than the EM-1.
Hope I don't see a EP10 soon haha
Doesn't make much sense for Olympus to limit themselves to 9 pro and semi-pro models (EM-1 to EM-9). Back then, the OM-1 stayed in production for 15 years, 1972 - 1987. Nowadays, consumer electronics companies update model numbers every year or faster, and sometimes release identical devices with different model numbers in different markets. Much too limiting for Olympus to designate EM-xx as consumer models. If they wanted to do that they should at least start with EM-100 or even EM-1000 so that they can keep on changing model numbers without running out of numbers.
According to rumor, EM10 is EM5 sensor with 3-axis IS + EM1 image processor.
So seem like not a successor to EM5?
So there are 3 categories of OMD?
EM1
EM5
EM10...

weird got new 3 axis stabilize:bsmilie:
Weird meh?
3-axis IS = 5-axis IS (minus) vertical shift (minus) horizontal shift.
= yaw, roll, pitch.
Weird if this is a downgrade. Honestly, I think it's more like Olympus realised that they ought to come up with a competing model to the GX7, but realised that the IS can't be too sophisticated for the price point. In short, the EM-5 represents a better mix in investment and they are going to figure that the EM10 won't be as popular as they would like.Weird meh?
