I don't believe it will. I compared the picture closely to my E-20.
It's the E-20 lens in the mockup. Maybe in a removeable mount, but every
single feature matches. Too big a coincidence.

The photos of the prototype Olympus Four-Thirds camera remind me of Edwin
Land's remark as he tried out the EK-4 and EK-6 cameras from Kodak: "I
expected so much more from Eastman."
It would seem that Olympus has labored mightily and brought forth a mouse.
Unless that chunky/clunky lens covers the 35mm-equivalent of, say, 24 to
300mm at a constant f/2.8, I see no reason to give up my film cameras for
"serious" work.

Right now, it looks like my "system" digital SLR (if and when) will be a
Canon or some brand other than Olympus.
