This rumor is brought to you by Xitek, a Chinese photography forum. It shows a Pen-style interchangeable lens camera from Panasonic, apparently called the GF-1. The pictures come from a PDF detailing the camera, and are either a rather good fake or the real deal. There’s nothing odd in the specs, for example, and the camera follows Panasonic’s Lumix design style perfectly.
