    Olympus’ marketing is such a train wreck. They don’t have any central message whatsoever. They’ve fallen way behind. They don’t have the luxury of staying silent as the competition passes them by time after time

    There is NO confusion.

    The micro 4/3s has come out; the E-system will apparently follow the mirrorless approach but still retain its larger size / shape relative to the PENs. That’s what I get out of the comments.

    I personally feel that the 4/3s will do something akin to the GH1 size whilst keeping it a ‘professional’ range.

      ^ I guess that’s the way they are going, BUT… if so than these won’t be a DSLRs. DSLR have something reflecting the light – mirror – that’s what for R stands in DSLR. So… OR mirrorless OR DSLR, it cannot be both, mr. Product Manager.
