Dear Friends
Sony Nex 7 is out and Stevehuff had a brief look at the camera and it looks damn hot . I was wondering what we may or may not get in the next Olympus Pen .
My wish list for next pen is
1) weather sealed body
2) inbuilt VF or Oly should supply free with the camera
3) New sensor but not necessarily more megapixels
4) faster frame rate - at least 6 fps
5) tilting LCD
6) Dual card slot
7) inbuilt bluetooth which should allow you to trigger the shutter from your bluetooth enabled mobile.
8) Last but not least - Olympus and panasonic should send new cameras to this website Admin and senior members for reviews as sony did with Nex 7 - They sent the camera to Stevehuff's Home. I am wondering why Olympus or panasonic haven't done this so far. This site is the numero uno for MFT users.
Have your say please ..

in your list i am interested in that order :

1) better sensor
2) inbuilt VF ( remove flash if needed )
3) weather sealed body
4) wireless trigger like on my E420


i wouldnt like a tilting lcd, it would add bulk and the touch focus of the EP3 is all i want.


at the moment its only 1) that kept me from upgrading my EP2
and gave me enough willpower ( its hard ! ) not to buy an EP3 for the faster AF and the touch focus and better resolution screen.

edit :

if i was still using kit lens i would probably have already bought an EP3, i was terribly disappointed by the EP2 AF at first, but with lenses i bought after it got closer to usable, even if my kid is often faster :p

1. New EVF that is smaller, more responsive (120hz), has a lock, more accurate (reduced crushed blacks), about the same price.
2. Lighter/smaller/thinner (ie, new shell)
3. More responsive buttons
4. Faster power up
5. Less shutter lag
6. Wireless trigger
7. Good quality screen
8. More convenient ON button
9. Retro looks
10. Better sensor
11. Silent/quiet shutter
12. Weather sealing
13. Better battery efficiency
14. 50 base iso
15. 8000th shutter speed

I wrote them roughly in the order that I want them. I really think that most of these things are realistic and possible without sacrificing too much, although the new EVF and weather sealing while reducing the mass would both be far fetched.

Hopefully the GFX1 will fulfill many of these criteria.

Smaller than a E-PM1?

Trying to 'see'...

1) better sensor, higher iso
2) inbuilt vf
3) tri-navi like controls

Smaller than an e-p3. I don't need it as small as the epm1, which looks ugly with its protruding lens mount.

I'm largely content with my E-PL2. I suppose more DR would be nice, and the camera could be a bit slimmer, but all-in-all, I'm happy.

i forgot to add GPS and gyroscope ..lol
There is nothing wrong in wishing . But I am damn serious that Olympus and Panasonic should send new cameras to this website admin and other senior members for reviews.

E-P3 with built in EVF would get my money....1080p video at 24 or 25fps would be good too

Tilt touch screen
Better noise and dynamic range
Lighter body
Better ibis

Don't want a built in evf
Don't care about weather sealing.
