Or also that Canon and Nikon did not lock themselves in to a specific
format, so they can have digital specific lenses and full frame
lenses. And a migration path for existing users, and an already
existing technology in autofocus and IS, and ... and ... and ...
and all Oly can hope for now is a major break through in sensor
technology, but then, so will every body else, at full frame.
I guess you gotta be a devotee to love Olympus stuff these days.
Now what would be cool is an E-1 quality camera in a really
compact form, Mx with some Leica glass .... they have to play
the cool game now. a Panoly... Olysonic
