I would even see that Panasonic would secretly take a stake in Olympus ...just to hold the micro 4/3 system alive.

Without Olympus the micro 4/3 system would plunge into darkness.

It's impossible to 100% predict the outcome, but a  company associated with photography would be the best chance to keep Olympus alive.

Sigma? They don't have an established place in the camera market. They would be allowed to use the Pen, OMD and Zuiko names, but say Made by Sigma and put "Sigma" on the camera prism... instant entry to the camera market. Developing future lenses would be easy for them.

Sharp? Similar advantages to the Sigma example... made a dual venture with them? Sigma make the lenses and Sharp the bodies.

Zeiss... although their relationship with Sony might be a conflict?
