I am looking for both the lower and upper camera to the OMD. For a pro model they need to add a few things to the OMD although not much. It needs dual card slot, bigger buttons, ability to take the 4/3 lenses without adapter and for them to work and bring new life to them. It needs ability to attach spot metering to active focus point. It needs to turn on the AF assist light on the FL50 or whatever Olympus flash that has it, the battery needs to be bigger and have more shots and the grip needs to hold both batteries. It also needs a "My Menu" feature and the on/off switch needs to be withing index finger reach. It would also be nice to take video a bit more seriously and Olympus needs to release their own custom profiles for LightRoom that brings the Oly colors to what they are in the camera. one last thing, it needs the GH2/GH3 style flip out LCD screen.

What you are describing is no more an mft camera, but a new FT body. You won't be able to get the FT lenses working on mft cameras without an adapter. The other highlighted features are also imported from FT cameras. There could be some ergonomic improvements to the buttons layout and I agree with your software requests, but really what you want is nomore an OMD, it is another FT camera.

If Canon Rebel DSLR's can operate with 2 totally different classes of lenses, so could Olympus m43 cameras be used with a new class of 4/3 lenses. (in addition to the present m43 lenses.)

Case in point: The Canon Rebel 1.6 crop DSLR's, which will mount both the smaller APS-C 'EFS' crop lenses, and the EF Full frame lenses.

The new class of Olympus 43 lenses would not require an adapter, but a slight redesign of the mount, in order to fit onto any existing m43 body. (including Panasonic.)

I propose they DO that.
