Body styling is obviously an important part of how a camera works
since you have to hold it to use it. I'm not a fan of retro per se as
much as I'm not a fan of modern styling for the sake of being
different. Body styling also affects compactness as a dove bar will
slide in your pocket whereas
As for Olympus, I've noticed that many folks who use mu43 are current
or former Pentax users. The most obvious overlap is a preference for
small SLRs.

For me the styling is unimportant. Retro that works is controls and
ergonomics. Since it's a m43 camera I doubt it will allow the use of
legacy lenses better than any other m43 system camera so I'm not
particularly excited. I don't own any OM-Zuiko glass anyway, but many
were outstanding
Agreed. I like my old cameras because the controls worked so well.
The presence of automatic modes makes these controls an afterthought,
and this becomes clear when you use the camera. Most shots work fine
on auto but that actually makes it worse. You don't' use the manual
controls as often, and

If you want retro for retro sake, look at the Epson RD-1, now that's
retro, even more so than the Leica M-9.
The Epson RD-1's not retro, it's steampunk.
The M9 is not retro either, any more than the M7

Link #2 mentions the expectation that the new OM-D camera will have a
weather sealed body.
That is one area that will cause a more direct competition with Pentax.

Is Olympus going to survive as a camera maker?
They sure don't inspire much confidence as a public company.

The only way I'd particularly care would be if it accepted OM lenses
natively. Otherwise it's just another m43 camera. Nice but nothing
special, except possibly for the pretty face.

I don't think there's any particular propensity for this group of
people to enjoy retro. I dislike retro, personally. Retro
implies styling things to make appear a particular way for the sake of
selling them on the fantasy of those looks. I dislike things that are
false this way.
I love cameras
I don't know why speculation about an Olympus camera would be of more
than just passing interest for the Pentax community, however.
ALL interest is passing interest, for we mere mortals, Godfrey.

An exciting new camera is of more than passing interest to this group because
(and this is just my unscientific opinion) many here are photographers first,
Pentaxians second. That is evidenced by the fact that so many own other brands
along with their Pentaxes; some have even discarded their
