As Scotty would say, "The right tools for the right job!"
One machine that does everything well does not exist. Sometimes you want a $30,000 medium format camera, and sometimes an Oly E-420. Sometimes a Ducati, sometimes a BMW GS. Some people, like S___ or L__ think that "the system is dead" because they can't get it thru their heads that not every job calls for a Leica R9 or a Generic Canikon. Sometimes you don't want to do studio work, you want to capture the protest at the Republican Con-Vention without the Solomon Grundies noticing you. A small, black, interchangeable lens (cheap in case Grundies smash) camera is called for. One with high quality lenses, good jpeg quality, and stealthiness is in order. The Republi-cons get SO upset when you catch fearless Leader ShrubCheney doing and saying stupid things.
Leica abandoned the true reportage market because while the M series might be of a nice size, I couldn't risk Grundy smash with a 5,000 dollar body and lenses that are half that price or more for each focal length.
More power to Oly-PanaLeica if they can make something that focuses faster than a DP-1 and has a great kewlness factor about it (and does not break the bank).
Over to you a__hat Sdai.
