Good on you privileged old, white, male showing your misogyny as well as racism. Have you ever considered the other gendes inclusion perhaps being targeted with this program?

Does every camera have to be big, masculine and phallic?

...nice little rant you had there. How about you write Olympus a letter, then?

The Olympus PEN E-PL9 features technology that lets you easily capture artistic photos, and has sophisticated exterior design that suits your stylish ensemble. You can easily import images taken with the E-PL9 to your smartphone for quick, easy sharing on social media.

Bonus question: see if you can find any men on that Olympus page or any women that aren't Asian or European.

Your comment perked my curiosity, so I just watched the Fiji A5 promo. Wow, just like the Olympus promo......all female and chic. Not a mention about sensor size, frames per second, or other tech. specs.

So, it would appear, at least with these two camera models both Fuji and Olympus are interested in a market segment that they feel should be catered to. Good on them. This is a segment that neither Canon or Nikon (not sure about Sony) have much or anything to offer.

Still, it was good of you to attack the OP in the personal manner that you did, right?
