I would have preferred something along the E-P3 line, but from what I have read recently we may not see another one like that anymore...
I currently use an E-PL3 and find it to be a decent enough camera, but I really do not like the handling at all... like I said it is just too small for me (personal thing of course), and I never really liked the OM-D shape to be honest, so this might just be the end of the line for me as far as Olympus is concerned. Guess I have to hope that Panasonic will bring out a new model that does have the features I want in a range finder style body, or I am afraid I am going to have to look more seriously at Sony or Fuji... Pity as I would hate to have to leave the Mu43 forum..:)

I feel very much the same, but I am prevented by the large choice of lenses in m4/3, and some of the features of the format, which ensure good resolution across the frame.
I think that O&P have been missing a beat in respect to Sony and Fuji, or better, missing the plot. One clearly needs a pocketable camera and an integrated EVF. The OM-D is not really designed for pockets because of the hump. OC it offers very good stabilsation, so Oly has the problem of how to reconfigure it in a RF FF. Panny doesn't so it might be the first to confront the NEX 6 and the X-E1.
By the pace of the evolution in the past that might happen next Spring.
One needs to be patient and sooner or later things happen without need of changing the format all the time, except if one doesn't appreciate the system one has.
