I guess you are living in Northern America ....

In Asia m4/3 is rather popular, in Europe less so

The Nothern americans tend to think big, only big cameras are considered to be capable by many photographers

Yes, that's very conservative and prejudiced, but it seems to be a popular believe

One more thing is that the best known players in the US and European camera market are Canon and Nikon, and not Olympus and Panasonic

The mirrorless offerings of Nikon and Canon are half-hearted, still only a niche product ... and not m4/3 anyway

used to be that way in Australia but seeing more and more mirrorless and m43 on streets and on shelves

Agree with what you said and i reckon there would be even more if Olympus and Panasonic made commercials more often like Sony do

Never understand why Panny makes no ad on its cameras, TV, outdoor ads etc, at least in my city. It just changed recently but sad to see the money was spent on CM1.... its US$1400 camera phone!

I'm only in a fairly insignificant suburb but see plenty of Olympus ads at the bus shelters for the OMD's. Never have I seen advertising from Panasonic.
