the mock-up showed a simple design with clear lines, this one is an example of too many ideas in a cramped space. The also didn’t get the feeling of the original dimensions of the little infold on the corners determining all the olympus pro models, and staying the same very fine dimensions, from Pen D over Pen F, FT, FV to OM1-2-3-4ti. I hope the later model with finder might show more sense.
This design looks so much better than that box they put together. All they have to work on now is the color scheme. It looks from the top view that it will also have a scroll wheel on the right thumb. You guys agree with that? I’m also loving the recessed function dial on the back left. The wait seems to be well worth it.
FT= FourThirds
FT1=probably fake rumor
FT2=rumor from unkown sources
FT3=50% chance it is correct
FT4=rumor from known sources
FT5=almost certainly correct!
