Its a kind of strange design. Leave the spaceships to NASA, ok?

that is one slick camera.

i dont realy know much about slr's, but this 4/3 system, its refering to the size of the ccd, or is it more than that (specific lenses or what not? )

The sensor size is slightly smaller than the APS-sized Nikons, although the mult factor is 2x instead of 1.5x.

I've really been impressed with the color of the prints the E-1 made. If this is the same, but 8MP, it will be a killer product. Prices of the lenses are ridiculous though. $499 USD for a 1.4x teleconverter??? :Nope

But when the camera body has it's own 2x built in...
