ie.. Here we are, a bunch of camera geeks second guessing an entire marketing department of a company that has sold internationally for over 50 years..

In case you didn't notice, the company nearly went under. Add to that that the other divisions, not the camera division, were what was keeping it afloat. It is entirely possible their camera marketing department has been doing a terrible job. Don't you think?

But in recent years the camera division did a ton better and their previous E-PL8 was even less of an upgrade spec-wise from the E-PL7.

Olympus, once a respected and serious photo company, recycling in "fashion accessories" to make profits ?

Funny World

If that's what it takes to make the camera division profitable while still making enthusiast oriented cameras, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm sure practically every camera company has at least released some products in the same category.
