So it appears that Olympus is rolling the E-Systems into the 4/3

lens, one of the main selling point of the OM system to *me* is the
small size. While I have only held the E-20 for a few minutes, my
recollection is that the body is pretty large, comparable to most
wonderbricks.
Ah well....

That is a good point. The 2/3 chip is in a number of "prosumer" models
and Olympus' version is the largest and the most expensive. Hmm. You
wonder whether Oly completely lost their focus(sorry) when Maitani no
longer controlled the product line.
