Olympus, who's that? Sony? Panasonic? They make Cameras? Fuji? Don't they make film? Pentax are they still in business? Those are all questions I've heard from sales droids at Big Box Stores. Most of the time I don't even bother talking to them because the don't know anything.
i had to descend into the samsara of a Denver Best Buy for an errand last night and noticed they had several m43 and Fuji bodies, so i had my first look through a Fuji viewfinder, and hefted the newer Olympus bodies (i have an E-M5) and a Panasonic GH4 (i have a GH1 and my partner has a G5); they even had several lenses and some accessories (grips, batteries), though that selection was spotty
the Fujis (X-T1 and X-T10) certainly seemed to handle nicely, which is too bad because on the used market and a little patience i can clean up with m43, but Fuji is still premium price (maybe the brand-new Fujis will drive that down); i still love shooting with the K5, especially macro, but for travel, the E-M5 simplifies things tremendously
