Chinese site DPNet has posted three pages of what appear to be product illustrations or mockups of Micro Four Thirds cameras. It is not clear whether the images illustrate an actual product. From the Google translation of the DPNet article, it sounds as though these originated in a Japanese forum.

The depicted cameras have a classic rangefinder-like form, are labeled as 12MP Panasonic cameras, and are depicted in three colors.

Update:

A Japanese blog has additional imagery including that of a Leica 12-42mm standard zoom, a Leica 21mm prime, and an EVF. I cannot tell from the Google translation whether the blogger posting these is the person responsible for all the CGI we have seen. It looks as though he may be. Either way, he seems to indicate that the images shared on DPNet and Photoscala are not genuine.

The lenses depicted on the blog do not appear to be realistic. A 21mm pancake with Mega O.I.S? An f/2.4 Summilux? D-Summarit would have been believable perhaps!

Fantasy or otherwise, these are some mouth watering images. My DP1 and E-420 are getting anxious. Too young for Ebay!

Update #2:

It's now clear that DPNet took the images from the Japanese blog Zuiko Four Thirds Arekore and then put their own watermark on them!

The images were originally posted on August 20 with accompanying words that explain clearly that the images were produced based on the known Micro Four Thirds specifications and a healthy imagination.

That DPNet page also states clearly that these were reposted from a Japanese forum/site, and that these pictures were mock ups based on the original creator's "healthy imagination".
