Finally the (rumored, but probably correct) specs of the NEW 12-60...
From http://www.43rumors.com/
Attractive specs for a "travel/all-purpose" zoom. Let's hope IQ holds up.

– Lens construction: 12 groups 14 pieces (4 aspheric lenses and 2 ED lenses)
– Shortest shooting distance: 20 cm (wide angle), 24 cm (telephoto)
– Maximum shooting magnification: 0.3 times (converted to 35 mm 0.6 times)
– Shake correction: POWER OIS
– Filter diameter: 62 mm
– Size (maximum diameter × length): 68.4 mm × 86 mm
– Weight: 320 g
Quote:Maybe so but the new 12-60 is clearly longer, and also slightly thicker than the old Oly 12-60 (posted by Photokina visitor on DPreview), so the difference in size (and likely weight) with the Oly 12-100 are likely going to be very small at best. Not happy about that, but I guess that's the price to pay for Pro specs.
