Poised to debut at CES 2011, an image and details of the Olympus E-PL2 Micro Four Thirds camera have already leaked all over the Interwebs.

At first glance, the new interchangeable lens camera looks quite similar to its predecessor, the popular and budget-friendly Olympus PEN E-PL1.

According to 43 Rumors, the E-PL2 steps things up with a 14-42mm f3.5/5.6 MSC kit lens, a 3-inch LCD (460K-dot resolution), a max ISO of 6400, some new art filters, and an external Bluetooth module called “Penpal.” Supposedly the accessory will allow photographers to instantly upload and share photos to Flickr and Facebook via Windows Phone 7 and Android devices.

Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but the Olympus E-PL2 is expected to be in stores by February.
