I also think it's curious that the original yahoo japan article is gone, but I do believe that Sasa said that sony makes the sensor.

Maybe he lied, or was misinformed,
no, he simply never said such thing, never ever
but it has certainly come to be accepted as general knowledge that the E-M5 sensor is a sony sensor (a few holdouts notwithstanding).
it was accepted as a general knowledge that earth the planet was flat
So you just think the original transcript of the press conference was incorrect? Fair enough, but like I said, it seems like someone at some point (other than you. :)) would have attempted to correct the record. Whatevs...
Everyone seems to be referring only to that press conference with Sasa. But did you see this interview with Haruo Ogawa, president of Olympus Imaging, by Dave Etchells of Imaging Resources.
Here are the critical questions and answers:
DE: Coming back to the E-M5, as I said, it did very well in our tests. Notably it used a Sony sensor as opposed to Panasonic. Does that mark a change of direction for Olympus and sensor technology?
Ogawa:It's obviously to our benefit to select the best image sensor, regardless of the manufacturer. We never fix on one manufacturer. Which device we choose depends on the target users' needs. We tell the sensor manufacturers that we'd like to have this type of product or we have this type of need. Then we ask the device manufacturer to meet our requirements.
DE: You're saying it's not a matter of a simple switch, where you were once using Panasonic, and now you're using Sony. It's a decision you'll make on a case-by-case basis for each camera that comes along, such as the E-M5, for which Sony was the best match. Possibly, for other cameras in the future, Panasonic or some other manufacturer might have the right sensor.
Ogawa:That's right, it's case-by-case. And also, we are always communicating with the sensor manufacturers about which features are necessary for the next generation of our product. That's the most important part of the relationship with them.
I do recall that item. I think it's a good point. It would have been the perfect time to correct the record and if instead he chose to continue to obfuscate, I think it was an unusual decision.
I wouldn't really say that he continued to obfuscate. If he had wanted to avoid recognizing the premise of the question, he could easily have begun by repeating exactly what Oly said at the very outset: I can't tell you who made the sensor but it's obviously to our benefit ... and so on.
But he did not do that. He just answered the question without making any reservations about its premise: That the E-M5 uses a Sony rather than a Panasonic sensor. I consider that pretty clear confirmation that the E-M5 sensor is indeed from Sony.
we have the following interpretations of the facts :
1) fact : interviewer desperately attempts several times to put words in Ogawa's mouth
AND
2) fact : he (Ogawa) flatly refused to do so (refuses to have words put in his mouth by interviewer)
NOW :
1) interpretation - 2 facts above prove that Olympus is using Sony sensor
OR
2) interpretation - 2 facts above prove that Olympus does not disclose the source of the sensor
