Some speculating...
In reply to pppp, 3 months ago

What might be.

OMD-Pro:

Much like the E-M5, but will have

Same sensor

built in landscape grip

takes lower part of  the HLD-6 as an add on battery/portrait grip, which will be sold separately at nearly the cost of the two part grip.

Full use of 4/3 lenses w special adapter (forget PD-AF, adapter does the focusing w CD-AF)

improved OVF

Larger buttons

Swivel screen

GPS will be available and plug into the accessory port under the hot shoe.

They'll finally give us one button access to mysets (and ability to name them)

Yes, a few more buttons will be added

If there is an OMD Jr. it might

give up one control wheel

Won't take the HLD-6, will have the interchangeable grip that some of the PENs have

Won't have the tilt screen

I expect an E-7 as well- It will basically be an E-5 w the new sensor.  Possibly an E-5xx or E-30 size body, but E-5 body more likely- Oly will not waste any R&D on this camera

Of course, I might have misread my tea leaves and sheep entrails, and Olympus is really poised to ditch m43 and jump into medium format :o
