Here's an interesting observation, too: The 4/3 lens mount has the same
opening diameter as the Nikon F mount (44mm), so larger sensors *could* be
used in the 4/3 system in the future. They'd require a new line of lenses,
of course, but all the manufacturers (except Sony) are in that boat to one
degree or another. I wouldn't be surprised to see larger sensor 4/3 cameras
appear after the micro 4/3 gets established.
However the short register of 4/3rds restricts the mirror size.
Who said it would have a mirror? ;-)
Seriously, there are ways of minimizing that issue: The lens rear
elements can be designed to be farther from the sensor and lens flange
and/or the mirror can be made to move back and up rather than just
flipping up on a normal hinge - I think Nikon has done the latter on a
recent camera.
