Interesting discussion, but I still think that an interchangeable lens
camera that accepts fairly long, (for it's format), telephotos is badly
compromised in use with those telephotos if it doesn't have an eye level
viewfinder of some sort. If you intend to use it with only relatively
short lenses, say from 10mm through 50mm, (I can hear WW scream even now
but), the equivalent to 20mm - 100mm on 35mm then you've kind of
forgotten the Olympus Pen ethos which was a system camera in the
smallest possible footprint that would do /almost/ everything that a
35mm camera would do. Maybe my objection isn't so much to the camera as
to the promises that the manufacture makes by tying it back to the Pen
F/FT system. (Which brings up an interesting question. The lenses from
the Pen would easily cover 3:4 format. I wonder if an adapter for those
lenses will be available, then Olympus could make some serious backward
compatibility claims).
