Even though I shoot with a 1Dsmk2 and a 5D, I still yearn for an Olympus camera.  I use to own the Olympus E420 and a few quality lenses.  It is the size and innovation that interests me, ever since  Olympus announced the MicroFT standard, it was only a question of time when they would release a rangefinder type camera.  I think the market needs that capability, not everybody needs to shoot with a large SLR, and Leica is never going to fill that space.  My dream camera would be a digital Contax G2, but that isn’t likely for the foreseeable future.

This announcement is great news and the camera’s abilities are incredible for something that big.  My only complaint is the lens lineup at the moment and the lack of some fast primes.  But overall it is a new system, and I’ll be keeping my eye on it.
