Here is what I wish.  I wish Oly would use the advent ('tis the
season) of m4/3 to get into FF.  By that I mean introduce micro FF.
It would be larger than the E-P1, as you suggest, but would capitalize
on the concept.  It would be an elegant way for Olympus to enter into
this area of competition.  A killer EVF would really help too.  Their
lens offerings for m4/3 are not so deep that they couldn't ratchet up
a new FF line of lenses for a mFF system.  Or am I missing something?
