Perhaps a bit gratuitous to add this here, but it is now official.

Personally I like it with that 17 mm 2.8 pancake as a starter kit. Sweet.

This is an interesting camera. Apparently it can take canon FD lenses with an adapter (no glass elements), already available on ebay. Now those f/1.2 could come back to life again. Also it can take Leica M lenses. The Panasonic one is already out and does all of that. Samsung is developing an APS-C version of this.

I also hope this camera means the extinction of the cr**** PS cameras. 1/2.5″ sensor is a joke.

No, it looks like a digital version of the Olympus Pen F.

I know what you mean.

Back in the day, I had this tiny Canon point and shoot with a 24mm prime lens that I won at a trade show.

The lens was very sharp.

Thats pretty cool, but I was hoping it would look like this. I’m sure this one is entirely a concept model as there are no markings on the top, but I really liked the design.

So I guess M-mount lenses can be used via the previously announced Panasonic adaptors, right?

It’s quite ugly (compared to the Leica, although less compared to the Panny equivalent), but I guess it’s the quality that comes out that’s most important. That will be interesting. Does it support RAW?

True… looking through my OM10 viewfinder, I keep wondering how back in the day Olympus & others made 35mm film _SLRs_ that were pocketable-size, complete with optics that that would today be called “micro”… that was normal size back then!

The sensor is still pretty small though.

2x crop.

I’m using Oly Zuiko’s on the 5Dmk II.. GREAT lenses.
I also used the OM4 which is still the best 35mm body ever imo!
Its TLL is fabulous and its something I miss on DSLR’s :)

I’m not into the Oly DSLR’s but this one looks nice. :)
If it excepts the old Zuiko’s with an adapter it would be heaven. A 21mm F2 on that sucka :)
