Pre-Photokina 2008: Olympus has announced the development of its first Micro Four Thirds digital camera that will be compatible with the Four Thirds standard, and which will 'bring dramatic reductions in size and weight to the E-system'. A mock-up of the new camera will be shown at Photokina in Cologne, Germany today. See here for pictures of the prototype.

We have a couple more snippets of information from Olympus's presentation at Photokina - the new camera will be a petite 120 x 65 x 32mm (4.7 x 2.6 x 1.3") in size, and all of their Micro Four Thirds lenses will maintain the telecentric design philosophy inherited from the Four Thirds system.
