I question whether a significantly smaller lens can be just as
sharp as a larger lens.  Lenses have a resolution, too.  This
new solution will be lighter and probably less expensive, but
no pros will be using it.  Olympus made a decision to ignore
the pro market, and that was probably wise considering their
history and company size.  But it's not going to be as good as
a full-frame Canon or Nikon.
