After Fujifilm unveiled yesterday its new X-series flagship mirrorless camera, the weather-sealed X-T1, Olympus introduced today three brand new cameras along with two new lenses and other cool accessories.

Besides the new entry-level E-M10, SP-100 50x bridge, and TG-850 rugged compact camera, Olympus also announced a new PRO Lens Kit for the OM-D E-M5 interchangeable lens camera.

The new E-M5 Black Elite body comes packed with the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO lens, a new leather texture similar with the one found on the E-M10, and refined dials. The kit will be available starting March 2014, but no information about its price has been disclosed.

In addition to that, Olympus also released a new firmware update for the E-M5 mirrorless camera model that comes with two important changes.

The new v2.0 build expands the current ISO range of your E-M5 camera to include a lower value of ISO100. Moreover, this new firmware also adds a small AF target to the AF target settings. If you own an Olympus E-M5, you can download the new build right away directly from Softpedia.
