I would have to throw in with the Olympus from the standpoint that you 
also have Panasonic lenses available for m4/3. The m4/3 lens mount also 
has lenses available from a few other companies as well. You are not 
dependent on Olympus alone, with Fuji there are other lenses available 
so if Fuji stumbles you are out of luck.
