In the past few years baseline DSLRs have been killing off "bridge cameras" en masse, because they are often the cheaper choice, and are so much more flexible because of the lens options (among other things). Now it seems that a close cousin of the bridge camera, this time around with interchangeable lenses, is poised to suck away DSLR sales. The Olympus proposal seems most attractive to me because it will be truly compact. Two or three small, fast prime lenses and you're on the road with barely any weight on board.
