And that right there is my problem with the 4/3 system. I simply don't 
think
they will be able to get the noise levels down, given the size of the 
chip,
especially above 800asa. Both Nikon and Canon are struggling to keep
things clean with the slightly bigger APS size. It a shame because it 
looks
like a very nice system They  recently announced a 14-35mm (35mm
equiv: 28-70mm) f2.0 and 35-100mm (35mm equiv: 70-200mm) f2.0.
No one else is making fast glass like that.
