Those interested in the rumoured Olympus micro-4/3 camera, the "Pen F 
celebration" model, might have a look here. Could be a fake, but most 
Olympus freaks believe it is real:

Exchangeable lens, fixed focal length - actually a f2.8 17mm (34mm eq.) - 
and an optical finder: http://tinyurl.com/n2maaf 

Panasonic is said to come up with a 20mm/f1.7 lens for the same system.

When the micro-4/3 system was presented more than a year ago, it was my 
first idea that such a system should lead to something ecaxtly like that. A 
compact camera with a better sensor than other compacts and a good optical 
finder.
