14 DAY TRIAL // There have been a lot of rumors in the last few days about Olympus' upcoming entry-level interchangeable lens camera, the E-M10, and it seems that today we get the chance to see the upcoming mirrorless camera thanks to a few leaked pictures.
Japanese website Digicameinfo received from a trusted source the very first images with the Olympus E-M10, showing the two versions (silver and black) that will be available on the market.
Moreover, the same source has also disclosed the estimated price of the upcoming mirrorless camera. The Olympus OM-D E-M10 will hit market shelves at an estimated retail price of ¥80,000 / €560 / $760 body only, ¥95,000 / €670 / $910 for the single lens kit, and ¥110,000 / €775 / $1,050 for the double lens kit.
In addition to that, along with the camera, Olympus will also provide an optional hand grip that will be priced around ¥6,000 / €42 / $57.
It looks like the E-M10's construction is quite similar with that of its predecessor, the E-M5, with a slight difference in the area under the leftmost dial.
