Oly is pushing forward with innovative small cameras, Sony is implementing LV better than anybody else, and Nikon keeps coming out with state of the art equipment. Pentax? Lucky thing Samsung bailed them out with the K20D sensor or their sales slogan would be "Last years innovations implemented badly at higher prices".
also said not long back no FF and we know that's coming, my guess is all the manufacturers will be watching oly to see how sales go. if it does even ok they will decide that it is a piece of the market they should have, much like what is happening with FF.
