Rumored Olympus E-M1X - New Photos?

[waday]

Latest rumor with photos here: (FT4) Are these the first leaked image of the new E-M1X??? - 43 Rumors

Seems like an interesting approach, but that price tag of $3,000 has me scratching my head. I get it that they're aiming for wildlife and sports photographers, so I'm not their target consumer.

The AI autofocus sounds neat.

I just want a Pen-F mark ii, which I don't know if/when that'll come out. According to rumors, it will be next year or so, but GAS is not patient by any means.

That body makes the lens mount look tiny.

Yeah, definitely, it's a huge camera. When I put a grip on my EM1, I get a similar size. Great when I need a vertical grip, but I'm not the target market of this newly designed camera. I wouldn't want to carry that around on vacation, LOL.

I really hope it comes in at a price much less than the rumors say.

It's definitely set up to be a high-spec professional camera! It looks like they're releasing it with a few telephoto zooms. Since these are all rumors, I'm interested in seeing what's actually going to be released.

I think its ugly.Especially from the back side.

 

[waday]

It's uglier than these? Seems about on par with them.

I'm guessing photographers who will buy it care more about the camera's abilities than looks.
