January 29 is the day when Olympus will unveil its latest entry-level interchangeable lens camera, the E-M10, but a complete list of specs have already been revealed by trusted sources.

Besides the specs listed in our previous article, if you're wondering whether the camera is weather-sealed or not, 43rumors has received a few new bits of information that debunk this rumor.

The Olympus E-M10 will not have a weather-sealed body, but the Nippon manufacturer is planning to introduce along with the camera an optional grip. Moreover, it seems that this accessory will not be a power grip, but it will give you quick access to the battery compartment without the need to remove it from the camera.

Along with the E-M10, Olympus will also announce three new lenses, as follows: the 25mm f/1.8 (priced at 35,000 yen / €250 / $335), the 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 pancake (same price as the first), and a new fisheye 9mm f/8.0 lens cap.
