Does the E-M1's upcoming firmware upgrade suggest longer wait for MkII?

I apologize if I have missed a discussion of this topic already. I have had my hands full lately with non-camera related issues.

My guess... A year is probably about right. No way we'd be getting this 4.0 upgrade otherwise.

My guess it will be announced just before the September 20th 2016 Photokina event. So keep an eye on Oly press releases about Sept 13th 2016 onwards.

The E3 was launched Oct. 2007, the E5 - Sept 2010, the E-M1 - Sept 2013. The E-M1 MkII will probably follow the same three year interval between Olympus top of the line cameras, so Sept. 2016 would be a good guess.

I feel like Oly wants to keep users with the E-M1 from moving to (for example) a GX8.

Kinda like an anti-pixel-race shot across the bow.
That is, of course, until they have their own 20mpx body.

According to a source in Olympus Oz, almost everything in the E-M1 is upgradeable in f/w, and their best guess for the E-M1 MkII is Photokina 2016, as others have said.

Sorry, but is anyone else going to photokina this year?
