First Images Of Olympus Stylus 1 Refresh Emerge | Rumor
The Olympus Stylus 1 compact camera is somewhat unique in that unlike the RX100 series or Canon’s new G7x, it sticks to that classic DSLR shape and style. Olympus is poised to announce a new refresh to the Stylus 1, along with a new wide angle converter.
New Olympus Stylus 1 Refresh Image Leak
According to the latest from the rumor mill, Olympus is poised to announce the new Stylus 1 refresh very soon. Images of the new camera have leaked online and can be found below. Details like specs, and the actual name of the new camera have not yet leaked.

As you can see, the images are pretty small, but as best as I can tell, I don’t see any major differences between this and the current Stylus 1 (the first image in this post). What is notable, is that you can make out some sort of character after the 1 in the camera name.
So, to me, that would seem to indicate the Stylus 1 will take on some sort of Fuji-esq naming sequence similar to that of the X100 series (X100s, X100T, etc). Also visible in the image above is a look at the new wide angle converter that will be announced soon as well.

Very good news!!! I love the Olympus and Panasonic cameras even I know they are somehow under-rated comparing to Nikon and Canon. Many people, at least here in Romania, don’t know nothing else than Nikon, Canon and eventually Sony. It’s a pity because Olympus and Panasonic have great gear!!
