Based on the Japanglish, it appears that the marketing is still for
true believers, mainly.
It does look wonderful to have a true system developing. It doesn't
give the impression that it is backward compatible to the E-1. Hard
to know what that means yet. There are no focus screens shown on the
system diagram page.
I am fairly happy with the 330 for the next little bit, but if the 330
had the viewfinder of the E-1, it would be a nearly perfect body to
me. I hope the E-P1 has at least as good a viewfinder as the E-1.
The fact that the accessories are meant to be backward compatible to
the 410 and 510, and no focus screens are shown, causes me some
concern about this. I find the E-1 viewfinder to be OK for routine
use in manual focusing for sports events and that kind of thing, but
not the 330's.
