IQ with the small sensor is still going to be an issue, unless they have something up their collective sleeves.

The mount to focal plane distance in 4/3 (39mm) relative to sensor diagonal (22,5mm) is very large, and it affects the size of the lenses. The M4/3 has the same sensor of the 4/3 system, but the cameras and lenses will be significantly smaller. This new system has clear advantages that compensate for the also evident disadvantages. It wasn't the case of the 4/3 system. IMHO.
