Ok, not a MFT system camera but the specs look actually pretty awesome:

Nice little camera, just hope that the lens won't be another "underdeveloped" one.

Software will fix it

I don't like the fact it doesn't use the whole 4/3 surface...

Had it been covering the whole 4/3 sensor (in the same size package), I'd have bought it in heartbeat!

It would not be possible, see image of lens comparison on this page:

Using the whole sensor would be result in a much larger (and presumably more expensive) package.

 

Pana marketing should have just called it the revolutionary micro-micro-4/3 sensor! instead of pointing out that it's actually just a slightly cropped regular micro-4/3 sensor.  That would avoid the inevitable but pointless grumbling that it's not using the WHOLE micro-4/3 sensor. 

 

It's a compelling package as is:
