Unfortunately Olympus let 43 die! Too bad! FOr me this would (could) have been a perfect system, if kept alive.4/3 is a dying system.
Hopefully, there will be an Olympus m4/3 "pro" body in the near future that utilizes the abilities of the 4/3 glass to it's fullest extent.
I think it will happen, or at least there will be attempts from Panasonic. The problem is that they don't seem to have the same understanding of build quality etc. that Olympus have excelled in. Another issue is that they have a policy with regards to batteries (changing battery type for almost every new model and trying to prevent customers to buy batteries from other sources) that has actually deterred me from buying a GH2.So that m43 pro body will most likely not happen IMHO.
+1 for this!!!I think it will happen, or at least there will be attempts from Panasonic.

When using cameras for work, it simply isn't acceptable to have almost identical cameras that uses different batteries and chargers but that are still almost identical, making it easy to get them mixed up when things have to happen in a hurry.
