No this is smart marketing, hiding smart engineering, (at least smart in
the same way that removing the aperture simulator from the *ist-D[x]
line of DSLR's was smart). Thus his got to be a lot less expensive than
a real pentaprism, it's probably even a little less expensive than a
pentamirror design. I think that Olympus should be applauded for giving
the consumer less, and hiding the fact as much as possible.

OK, here's the info:

So the new Oly has what ~looks to be~ a pentaprism, but which is only a
cosmetic feature.
That would be such a dumb move...
Look! it "looks" like a real camera but inside is still the funky
arrangement of mirrors! Stupid marketing....
