M4/3 interview

Interview with Olympus about Micro Four Thirds.

My view on the M4/3 is that it will take some time to develop, since it will take new bodies and lenses, and it will be very demanding of LCD screens and of autofocus, but if everything pans out, in a couple of years we might have some cameras as I've dreamed and talked about; compact cameras in full professional quality and speed.

One of the things he says is that full frame (35mm size) lenses need to be very big in order to have top quality. This is supported by the enormous size "enjoyed" by the new top-notch Nikon zoom lenses. Those are real dang big! (Note Lloyd's boat picture, I like it.)
