Me. You get more camera in a smaller package with access to every lens on the planet. The difference in sensors is minor. If I had those sort of priorities I'd be shooting my 645. Arguing over the difference between two similar small sensors is a (highly popular) waste of energy.
And actually, Olympus is not copying Pentax but copying Olympus. At least the retro style is paired to correct function and ergonomics. I waited for Pentax to release a "Pentax Limited" that would have a cool and effective retro style, but I'm still waiting. Now the slack has been taken up by Fuji, Olympus etc. to full advantage.
Sorry I have no joke to insert about Swedish women.
