Camera sales are falling sharply

Yup. The "cheap" primes from Olympus and Panasonic are fantastic. I have the Oly 17mm f.18 and 25mm f1.8 and one or the other lives on my second body.

Heck, even the "large" 12-40mm F2.8 Pro lens on my primary body is about the same size as a mediocre kit lens on a full-frame SLR.

And the best thing: these lenses are sharp wide open. On other systems you get 2.8 lens, but need to stop it down to 4.0 be useful. On u4/3 you get 45/1.2 and you can use it at 1.2.

The 45mm 1.8 is absolutely fantastic, too.
