[ COMING ] - Olympus next OM-D (E-M6?) Rumors sure starts early!

I like my OMD for everything it does... but I really really really really hope that it had the focus peaking capability like the Sony and not some fancy art filter type of thingy. Other than that... I really couldn't fault the current OM-D in anything... except maybe give the OMD a deeper grip (anyway, I just bought a third party grip from ebay and hope that it will reach me before I went on a holiday in Japan in June )

i support the idea width length to be longer, and bump height to be shorten.
maybe width to be lengthen by 1cm will be perfect.

This sound stupid but I dreamt of the EM6 being released in Sep haha.
And in that dream , EM6 was just so good I ended up queueing up overnight to buy it. 0_o

You could be right. September is only 2 months before November - the start of the peak gift buying season - for year end holiday trips and Christmas celebrations in December. It cannot be too early in the year or too late. It needs some time to build up momentum and for advertisements to get consumers' attention.

Probably that'd depend on whether Oly sees the Pen series and OMD as 2 separate consumer lines or they might cannibalize each other. Any idea how long has it been since EM5 was released ?

Maybe announced about Feb 2012. Nowadays new model cycle time is short. If new OMD in Sep 2013 then a bit more than 1½ years.

Probably the best rumour for the upcoming OM-D.
Let's hope this comes true, and fulfills our (wet) dreams.
