Olympus is 100 years today

By PR admin | Published: October 12, 2019

Olympus is 100 years today. Expect several new product announcements next week:

Olympus E-PL10
Olympus E-M5 Mark III
I expect also a new Olympus special edition camera or lens

Coming soon: new Tokina ultra-wide-angle APS-C zoom lens and Sony GP-VPT2BT shooting grip with Bluetooth remote control function

By PR admin | Published: October 11, 2019

Tokina is rumored to announce a new ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for APS-C cameras - maybe 11-16mm or 11-20mm replacements?

Sony has a new registration in Asia for a GP-VPT2BT shooting grip with built-in Bluetooth remote control:

Of course the Olympus PEN line is not dead: here is the upcoming E-PL10 camera

By PR admin | Published: October 11, 2019

I have been reporting for a while that Olympus is going to announce a new, small and light Olympus PEN MFT camera:

"The dates are a bit off, but I think it is safe to assume that Olympus will announce a new PEN camera in 2019 in addition to the already rumored Olympus E-M1X" (January 2019)

"I have been reporting for a while that Olympus is rumored to announce a new smaller MFT camera in 2019" (February 2019)

"I have been reporting for a while that Olympus is rumored to announce a new, small and light Olympus MFT camera" (again February 2019)

"Olympus also confirmed that we can expect a new smaller and lighter camera for their 100th anniversary on October 12th, 2019" (February 2019)

"I have reported that before already - I think Olympus will release another PEN camera." (October 8th)

Here are the first leaked pictures of the upcoming Olympus PEN E-PL10 camera (IM019?) that will replace the current E-PL9 model - obviously the reports about the PEN line being discontinued were completely wrong:
