Depends which consumers, the ones on internet forums discussing cameras, or the ones out there in the shops not discussing cameras.
The 'camera forum' consumers were saying the 2x crop factor blows.. Olympus didn't listen. These consumers said Nikon's even smaller 1" blows.. Nikon didn't listen.
So now Olympus has the biggest MILC share in Japan bigger than Sony's bigger sensor, and Nikon just broke the sales records in the UK.
These same consumers are now saying Newson's design and no-EVF blows. So I'll put my money on it being a runaway success then.
