[Leica] Leica participation in 4/3rds format

[vondauster at earthlink.net (Will von Dauster)]

dpreview.com now has this news as well.

This is a very interesting development. Especially if the price point  
is within reasonable distance of the E-330, this could get to be fun.  
As a Canon user, I've always envied the anti-dust capability of the  
Oly 4/3 system. I end up cleaning the 20D sensor a little too often.

(I notice that even the Oly E-500 has a raw output.)
