With that said, I never understood the point of 4/3. The cameras (E-3 etc) are huge, the lenses are huge, but they have a relatively small sensor. As soon as I read about the 4/3 sensor, I thought it should go into compacts. Micro 4/3 deserves to be a huge hit and I feel it's what 4/3 should've been all along. I hope Olympus continues to make an even smaller m4/3 cameras and fast primes. I’m a firm believer that any camera can take interesting photos as long as you know its strengths and weaknesses.

They just need to do a better job to make people aware of their excellent 4/3rd line-up. For example, in the US, there's scarcely any Olympus sponsored events that are promoted properly. As the result, most people here only speak Canon or Nikon. Couple that with a smart manufacturing and inventory system (they have to have one to support that many camera models), they can support two different system (m4/3rd and 4/3rd) for a long time to come.
