But thats not true. The Olympus loook like no other 35mm interchangeable lens SLR and the design is original Olympus and not a wholsale, uncritical adoption of the latest Nikon/Canon product. You may like or not, find it sexy or not, but it is still original and every major success and influental design has started by someone being unique and progessive. Canon didn't getting where they are by being followers. Minolta didn't trigger the whole AF revolution by following in somebody else footsteps. Nikon got where they are today by defining professional standard SLR's in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Olympus made impact with the OM system. In contrast, every "me too" slr manufacturer are wiped off the face of the earth; bankrupt or giving up this particular market segment. Sigma is probably the only one left but..... P�l
