I think it will be black with the name "Olympus" written on the front.:OT: c'mon guys, let's talk about this über-Olympus ...

Why not titanium - a 100 year celebration camera would at least deserve a Titanium version :ROTFL:

Something is happening. Panasonic has a two month promotion on all their three top models here in Thailand. The G9 is suddenly $1,400 (eqv.) including 7% vat. That will be very hard to resist. One of my GX8 bodies will have to go I suppose.

Its been that way stateside for a bit now. G9 goes for $1200 ang GH5 for $1600.

Olympus EM1.2 is going for €1499.- here in Austria. If you buy a kit with 2.8/12-40 PRO it is another €200.- cash back I guess.
Yes, something is happening ....
BTW if the new EM1X is really that big and highly priced as I fear then a G9 might be the way to go for me as well ... especially at such low prices.

I'll probably go for it for a number of reasons:
- Excellent video including 4K/60 and 1080P/180
- Very high quality hi-res 80MP
- Large battery
- Great viewfinder
- Great ergonomics
- Large buffer
- Articulated LCD (which I mostly turn in against the body)
- Fantastic dual IS with very many lenses
Although the E-M1X will probably be at least as good in many area and have superior AF, it will also probably be much more expensive, and who says one cannot have both? :ROTFL:

Thanks Bart.
E-M1 X is the King of height and depth!
:salute: It better have a lot of battery and processing power!

Makes you wonder why it’s that large...

Assuming those are the dimensions for a E-M1 X with a built in grip, I was curious to know how it compared to the Pana G9 with the vertical grip attached.
From the specs I gathered on the Web, dimensions of the G9 with grip attached are (WxHxD): 136.9 x 143.6 x 91.6.
Just a bit smaller in width and height compared with the E-M1 X (144.3 x 146.7 x 75.3)

Exactly ! And we do know by now why that G9 is that large, don't we ?

I don't know why the G9 is as large as it is, but I like the size, whatever the reason.

Another very solid response to the video from Tony Northrop on "m43 is dead"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd8dn4JLyfg&feature=em-uploademail
Question really is who will buy Panasonic FF, as existing FF users from Nikon, Canon and Sony will most probably keep investing in their brand and not switch. So who in the end will buy Pana FF? Most likely also many m43 users will not switch, maybe some will add a FF system but then it could be any system and not necessarily Panasonic. So this could rather turn out to be a dead end for Panasonic FF and the L-mount alliance and not for m43.

Here's a very balanced view. This guy shoots with Panasonic (G9), Sony and Fuji:
