Not thrilled about the Art and iAuto dial settings (would rather have C1,C2,C3) but we'll see where it leads. Note that this image has a different shaped viewfinder bulge than the first image leaked.
Ping: I think the Art mode has been a hit with Olympus, Olympus is good at jpegs. I however never use auto anything (...ok sometimes A) but I see my wife using it and the other auto modes.
Spyro as a non-smoker my ashtrays get full of chewing gum!

So is this another E series camera? Agree about the "Art" filters. Kind of pointless on the presumably "pro" level camera. Maybe this just shows which market segment the camera is directed at. If it is mirror-less, the viewfinder budge is basically pointless and unwelcome, working to defeat the potential advantages of a mirrorless design.
Wow. I posted in this thread without mentioning some musician who first appeared over 20 years ago...
Agree about the viewfinder bulge unless they have somehow used the space for optics to magnify the EVF view. If the finder offered a huge image view, that would be something.
Top deck is taking shape with the latest leaked image piece. Love the classic OM look. Hopefully it has a very large viewfinder like the OM's did in that false penta-prism bump in the middle.
I'm sorry but the last page or so was just worthless posts regarding the subject in hand (totally appropriate for another forum). Looking quite interesting with the latest image. Can't wait for the the entire image to be revealed.
Art filters don't hurt, so I see no downside to them.
Pro is a bit strong here anyway - for the people generally thought of as 'pros,' a high-end DSLR will remain the most appropriate camera for some time. Pro is marketing speak for high-end enthusiast, a bit of flattery for potential buyers.

Well, since Sony is now involved with Olympus, who knows. You may get your wish.
I do think it will be an attractive body though, as long as it's all not just fluff.
The rotating dial under the shutter button that protrudes beyond the front edge reminds me a little of the rotating shutter dial on the original Black Beauty Canon EF from the mid seventies. Very handy to use while looking through the finder. Hopefully, it will be programmable.
