"Of course, it all boils down to price. To find acceptance, four-thirds
SLRs
would have to be less expensive than today's lowest cost digital SLR, the
Canon
10D. It's the only way Olympus and the others can hope to establish a new
standard, although there's no reason why more costly models couldn't be
produced later on.
The re's a window of opportunity here while most digital SLRs are still
relatively expensive and don't support the full imaging capabilities of the
lenses they use. Once full frame digital SLRs become affordable by the
advanced
amateur, that window closes. If four-thirds can establish itself before the
window closes, the standard could be with us for a good long time. If not,
it'll go down in history as another good idea that never quite got off the
ground."

"The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious,
awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself --
