Another FX-format camera means that Nikon will jump back with both feet
into the production of full-frame lenses, updating some of the current
ones and introducing new ones.
Ain't gonna matter. 4/3rds is going to rule the world.
Will that be at the same time or just after eTech Evinrudes "capture" a
larger market share than Yamaha four-strokes? :)

Same theory actually - the better things are fewer in number.

It's an age old axiom that consumer sheeple like you get suckered with
every day.

What are the advantages of the 4/3rd system vs Canon or Nikon?

Well, the obvious is because I own it and we all know that I am one to
emulate being the manly handsome dude that I am.

However, 4/3 format is a system designed to be completely digital and
not emulate 35mm film cameras.

In short, advanced technolog - something not everybody appreciates.

You can compare it to four stroke vs ETEC. Four stroke - ancient
technology. ETEC - advanced technology. :)

Seriously, here's a link.
