Cameras are value-added products.
People pay for what the camera can do, not for differences in sensor cost.
There is a lot of R&D and marketing investment cost to recover.
For value-added products the cost:benefit evaluation is highly subjective as each of us thinks about value differently.
Of course anyone who decides the Fujis and/or OMD are over-priced is right. But so are others who feel the cameras are fairly priced and buy the camera. Many of these cameras are sold and many people decide to buy something else they believe is more valuable.
