Oh My Goodness (digital OM)

i wish someone at Olympus would go ahead and leak a full image of the camera already. all this teasing sucks...

February 8th seems so far away....

It's possible, though totally improbable, that Oly could make a full frame camera with interchangeable lens mount modules for OM, 4/3, and m-4/3 lenses, with the latter two only using the photosites in the center portion of the sensor. We're pretty much there technologically.

But you're probably right, of course--it is likely to just be an unusually nice m-4/3 camera.
 
Sony, whom they have been cutting deals with due to the bad financial situation...but yeah, I doubt it.

I will say, though, that a super nice m4/3 camera might possibly bring me back to the fold. I actually quite like the format.
 
Another thing that I hope with Sony's tie-in given the situation is the possibility of "ZOM-D" line of manual focus Zeiss lenses.

Still heavy and dense as the typical Zeiss lens, but smaller in bulk. Now that would be sweet. 😀 😀
 
Guys, there is an infinitesimal change of this thing being full-frame. Olympus is fully vested in 4/3 size chips. Full frame would mean R&D into a new line of lenses which they are not going to do, especially when they have been shy and retiring as a company for decades. And they are not going to make a digital body so we can all take our OM lenses from the closet or buy them from KEH....only Ricoh does crazy stuff like that. Pentax will release a full-frame long before Olympus does. Monkeys will fly out of my butt before Olympus releases a full-frame digital. There is just nothing except Mike's fanciful thinking to suggest this. Deal with reality: It will be 4/3!

They would be missing the boat, because the ZOM-B line just doesn't die.

I'm pretty sure that everyone realised that Mike was having a laugh; or at least I hope they did.
