Olympus’ Chinese website is teasing a silhouette of a new PEN model that it has dated for a May 11, 2013 unveiling. The Olympus E-P5 and E-PL6 were previously rumored to be next on the PEN release schedule.
The Olympus PEN E-P3 is nearly 2-years old and no longer in production, while the E-PL5 was just announced in September 2012.

The Panasonic Lumix G6 follows the G5 as an entry-level Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera less than a year after the G5 was announced. The G6 features a 16.05MP sensor, 3-inch touch screen display and an EVF. It will capture up to 1080/60p HD video in either MP4 or AVCHD.
The G6 also features WiFi and NFC connectivity for connecting to mobile devices using Panasonic’s “Image App”. [click to continue…]

Recent rumors suggest that Olympus will be updating its E-Px and E-PLx series soon. The next generation should carry the logical names of E-P5 and E-PL6, which obviously would serve as replacements for the E-P3 (the number ’4′ is considered bad luck in Japanese culture) and E-PL5, respectively.

Full bragging rights in the press release below. [click to continue…]
