“It seems surprising that Olympus would stick with the Micro Four-Thirds sensor on an SLR form factor instead of going with an APS-C chip.”
Why would they introduce a new sensor format, requiring a new lens-lineup and a redesign of the bayonet? It doesn’t have anything to do with the electronic shutter and very little with the form factor (ie. see Sony Nex) and much more with lens and industry support for the m43 sensor/mount.
