The EM10 is actually quite a small camera, and coupled with a trio of 1.8 lenses, makes for a very competent and compact system. The key for me is SYSTEM!

But a GM5 or EPL9/10 class camera is even smaller.  They also need to "pro-them up"

So, not just a camera body, but lenses and accessories also. When you build the system out, that's when you really see the size advantage, especially with lenses.

But I don't think size is the issue here.

Releasing an EM1X was a bad, bad idea.

It's image accessibility. How quick and easy is it to get an image from your smartphone onto social media? It can be instantaneous. How quick and easy is it to get an image from your camera onto social media? Camera manufacturers (all of them) have failed to grasp what the majority of customers wants to do with photography today, and have not guided their ships away from the icebergs.

Must admit, I'd have loved to see Apple buy Olympus imaging.
