The “leaked” specs say that there will be the M-1, with a 3.2″ LCD, a 12-45 ƒ2.4-3.5 lens that can shoot hi-def video up to 1080p, joined by the M-100 with a 14-70 ƒ3.5-5.6 lens. Interestingly, the M-100 is supposed to look just like the concept camera which Olympus showed at Photokina last September, the hot looking number pictured above.

From what we can tell, the cameras will have, despite their compact camera looks, interchangeable lenses, and there may be another lens announced soon after the cams — a 45-150 ƒ2.8-4 with the reassuringly accurate weight of 550 grams (19 Oz). As usual, we’ll have to wait and see, but if this thing works as good as it looks, Olympus could have a hit.
