micro four thirds

Excellent news !

Olympus / Panasonic announced the micro four thirds format, which is basically the four thirds format without the mirror box and the optical viewfinder. The lens mount becomes slightly smaller too, but will still accept the four thirds lenses with an adapter. New micro four thirds lenses should be more compact.

I read the press release from dpreview.com. But of course the news can be found in many many pages and blogs.

ok now, when will the first olympus micro four thirds appear on the market?
