A camera whose size matches its format. Small. I wonder if when Leica was renouncing 4/3s the 4/3's micro had not come in yet? This is a very Leica like camera if you ask me. Looks better to me then the Olympus pen much as I tend to like those. But says Panasonic on it so far not Leica. I like these format options! Square format! 1:1 4:3 3:2 16:9 4000 x 3000 (4:3) ? 2816 x 2112 (4:3) ? 2048 x 1536 (4:3) ? 4000 x 2672 (3:2) ? 2816 x 1880 (3:2) ? 2048 x 1360 (3:2) ? 4000 x 2248 (16:9) ? 2816 x 1584 (16:9) ? 1920 x 1080 (16:9) ? 2992 x 2992 (1:1) ? 2112 x 2112 (1:1) ? 1504 x 1504 (1:1) Mark William Rabiner
