Matsushita (Panasonic) will be producing a 4/3rds camera body in 2006. Is Leica brand lenses far behind? Encouraging news for those users of 4/3rds standard.
From this article:
"There are two key reasons why Matsushita decided to enter the digital SLR market. The first is that consumers who either don't own silver nitrate film SLRs or don't use them are likely to make up the majority of demand for digital SLRs in the future. It is expected that this type of user will be less likely to need cameras capable of using their existing interchangeable lenses.
"The second reason is that with the four thirds system and the proprietary high-density packaging technology used in the DMC-FX7, Matsushita believes it will be able to produce bodies and lenses smaller than those used on silver nitrate cameras. In fact, many engineers in the field agree that the four thirds system is technically superior for use in compact digital SLRs. For Matsushita, the lack of compatibility with legacy interchangeable lenses does not represent any obstacle to its entry into the field."

The 4/3's system will probably evolve to the main rival of the standard SLR systems. From what I understand it's a well designed system, designed by several parties from the get to as a digital from the ground up.
I have an Olympus E-20N. I can tell you the colors and vibrancy on that camera astound me. I am new to photography. I blew away a friend of mine with a photoshoot done on a super-bright day in which at the time I was unaware of polarizer filters. *LOL* Even though half the photos were washed out. He was amazed that on such a strong bright day, that I got a rich blue skies and colors even though much of my shots were of a white lighthouse.
So on color and vibrancy, Olympus is really good. Where Olympus currently fails (and why I am going Canon) is the ISO modes and noise. And speed (buffer/shots) although I confess that I do not know how the new Olympus units compare on that aspect. And lastly, lens selection. Although I believe that this will be irrelevant for the 4/3 system in 2-4 yrs.
Just my two pesos...
