Wouldn't it be interesting if there was no LCD on the back? The body would be super slim, the cost less, and the review functionality could be available through the VF.

Olympus removed the delete button on their E-PM1 Pen Mini, showing in part what they think of excessive chimping.

That picture isn't genuine. Even 43rumors says it's an "imaginary" picture by someone. But the release may be for real and is very interesting in two ways: weather resistance and built-in VF! Does Olympus have any WR lenses for µ4/3?

The pic isn't real (as stated earlier) and the story doesn't really tell us much. For all we know, it could be something as simple as a P&S or something in between a P&S and the m4/3 system, or something completely different. Either way, I dunno how much I would be investing in Olympus at the moment.

Perhaps they weren't sure which execs would be in jail now and which wouldn't?
