[quote name='Klaus' timestamp='1305713993' post='8489']Frankly Oly could also take an APS-C sensor and sell it as multi-format 4/3.[/quote]
Hmm, taking a 16 MP APS-C sensor from Sony to use it as 4/3 sensor would give you a usable area of just 10 MPs, which is hardly competitive these days.
Concerning Panas multi-aspect sensors we don´t know about eventual contractual agreements between Oly and Pana. It is also possible that some aspects of the multi-aspect sensor concept as it is used by Pana represents patent-protected intellectual property. Regardless, in terms of marketing both companies, Oly and Pana, leave a lot to be desired.
