A few details on the website didn't come through in your points.

But the goodies are all there!  :-))))))))

(I've edited this for better English)

- Appearance Design Bears Close Resemblance to the Olympus Pen FT
- Picture size is 2,614 x 1,966 pixels.
- An interchangeable lens revitalizes the "Zuiko" brand of former years. A standard lens prepares "G Zuiko MC 25mmF1.8" and "J-Zuiko MC 15-150mmF 2.8-3.5." - A finder is an optical single lens reflex camera formula. 1000f the rates of a view is realized. - The maximum shutter speed of 1/12,000 sec is realized by electronic shutter combined use. Stroboscopes are also all syncro [Ed: full-synchro, daylight flash].
- The 16 million pixel CCD from Kodak is also under examination.

I found a few more details, mangled by an auto translator at
http://www.digitalcamera.gr.jp/html/HotNews/index-e/index-e010401-0430.htm

There are also photos of the Japanese text slides for this here.

camera and PMA in February of the next year will announce !

5,100,000 pixel CCD "KAF-5100CE" (sencer size of 17.8x13.4mm) ] made from a
Kodak announced from it being an official announcement at the seminar of a
Kodak company is trustworthy.

- " If 4/3 inch CCD has CCD 4 times the area of 2 (popularity is won by E-
10)/3 inch and is a 4 micron pitch, its 16 million pixels are possible. A
lecture (with the same number of pixels) It is explained that there is a 4
times as many merit as this by sensitivity or the dynamic range."

- To the highly efficient model which maintained balance rather than the
present digital single lens reflex camera which has diverted the existing
lens for 35mm single lens reflex cameras by optimizing a lens for 4/3 inch
CCD at a base

- "4/3 inch CCD can be further driven high-speed rather than APS size. For
the reason, a workflow becomes light and explains that a merit can also
move a focal-plane shutter quickly far."

- Lens mount proposes common mount-ization used as the de facto standard
based on 4/3 inch CCD.

- By common mount-ization, create the competition market of each company
