My E-M5 III requirements

Exactly. Who needs C-AF on their "travel" camera as a drop dead requirement? if you don't want to carry the E-M5mkII around because it doesn't have a giant grip, or awesome C-AF, or 20mp, or..... then what did you even buy it for?

Pretty much a given
I doubt that it will have the pronounced grip of the E-M1, but any advance in 'gripability' would be welcome.
I think the E-M5 series is meant to serve a different set of use-cases to the E-M1 series, so I'm ambivalent about this. If for no other reason, I suspect Olympus will restrict the best AF functionality to the E-M1 series as a strong point of model differentiation.
Bound to launch in Australia for close to AUD$2k.
It's late November and there aren't even any rumours about a MkIII, so that's not going to happen.
You do that.
No insights or predictions, but some further 'wants':
- Base ISO of 100 (or better). Happy to sacrifice a stop of performance at high ISOs if that's what it takes.
- 4 million dot EVF.
- 4-shot option for the sensor-shift feature. That's shot 1, then 1px across, 1 down and 1 back, for full colour information at each site. Output to be native-resolution 'raw' (de-bayered RGB).

... neither no bigger nor heavier than it is right now.
Otherwise with the other big huge heavy cameras both Olympus and Panasonic are putting out, m43 will no longer makes any sense for me. I don't see the point of a smaller sensor and a big heavy camera.

That would be an Olympus specified and Sony designed and produced. The ability to design and build a sensor like that in production quantities doesn't just pop up from nowhere. Sony spent big money to get that capability. No-one else makes a stacked sensor that size, so if it has those specs, it'll be a Sony through and through. Samsung could maybe do it, hard to think of anyone else.
All sorts of fictional things could do that.

A grip that is slightly larger should improve ergonomics and get a larger battery. Just as long as it don't stick out from the camera body farther than the thinnest pancake lens it wouldn't effect the picketability of the camera.

The single most important requirement to me is a sensor with more DR than currently available in M43.
The second most important one is a tilting screen. Everything else should be good enough already.

Long ago the fully articulated screen was in such a hi demand that finally Olympus did it... Now I see the demand for a "proper" grip all around... This is a very bad dream....

There was demand, but i also heard many who were against it, probably close to 50% of people. So, the bad dream for Olympus really started a long time ago, ever since this abomination first appeared in an Olympus OMD, the Em5 II.

Olympus has the EM10 which sounds like it suits you better. Smaller and it doesn't improve on CAF.
