While all the other big camera companies worked to maintain traditional film formats in the digital world, forcing a square peg into a round hole, so to speak, Olympus determined to start with a blank screen. Olympus decided that since computer monitors, and digital presentation in general, was four by three, their cameras should be designed for this reality. A classic case of working with what the world offers.
Personally, this strikes me as brilliant.
However, the world as shifted to sixteen by nine. That is, on occasion, a four by three screen can still be seen in the corporate environment, but hardly anyone owns one, least of all the kind of people who keep up with the cutting edge of digital photography.
Thus, the question: Oughtn't Olympus stay true to their original philosophy and abandon the 4/3 sensor and develop a 16/9 sensor?
