Some new things will sprout up in June and July from both Olympus and Panasonic. What could they be?

Your guesses?

E7 and G5

Why even make an E-7? Isn't that the E-M5?

E7? And why not E6?

I am surprised that the 4/3 system is still a viable alternative...
I guess, the HQ SHQ lenses are a big factor, and a larger body (

) E6/7 for Weddings looks more (

) professional for SOME...
BUT, the E6/7 may inherent the E-M5 sensor...

An E6/7, with an EM5 sensor/processor might resuscitate the entire system, especially if they tweaked the video a little.

I expect the 60 macro soon. Its definitely time for some GH3 spec leakage. Someday a fast prime telephoto will appear.

Has anyone heard any rumor about some more Panasonic Leica lenses?

Nope, those are going to take a while if they ever happen. It looks like Panasonic is more invested in the X lenses now.

I wonder how this will pan out with the "PEN Revolution in September" rumour? Will this be a "mini-revolution"? I think the 60mm macro is a distinct possibility, as are new Four Thirds cameras. I read somewhere that Oympus isn't giving up on Four Thirds just yet.

Everyone EXCEPT Olympus has said that.

I'd hope Olympus is going along with them...
