Looks like all the lenses will start sporting the blue line. "and 
feature a stylish design with a blue ring in the middle – the new 
insignia for the Olympus E-System lens line-up."

Size may be OM-4, but the target price/performance looks to be more 
along the lines of double digit OM bodies. Looks like they are really 
working to keep the price down. Maybe they will be able to find a soft 
spot in the market with better imaging performance than the superzoom 
prosumers at very little additonal size/weight/cost while knocking off 
some of the Pent*x low end small/cheap models by offering more mps. The 
4/3 sensors may not be noise competitive with C or N yet, but I'll bet 
an E-400 with the 18-180 has much better overall image quality than the 
superzooms
