We're all aware that SLR digital camera (or analog) has a boring form factor, or word 'boring' is not suitable, then rigid would be fit. The shape of SLR camera is almost never change, even untill digital era come. But recently, Canon offered DSLR for beginner with their low end EOS series which has smaller size than most DSLR camera has.

Some people believe the design of DSLR affects to selling number. Indeed DSLR camera market is growing rapidly rather than other digital camera class, but untill now, DSLR camera design could not match to other camera class which has more nice and stylish design, or smaller size to make it more handy. DSLR camera is dedicated for hoby or proffesional photographer who make a living from photography. But still, people will love more nice design, or more user friendly to use. This should be increase the sell.

So to, to jack the number of DSLR camera selling, Olympus and Matsushita are developing new generation of SLR camera with smaller and lighter design. They claimed had successfuly build a new format called Micro Four Third System (MFTS). This technology enable vendors to redesign proffesional camera tobe smaller and compact.

So Four Third System (FTS) is ready tobe left. This technology is open standard for censor size and reduce lens size, and also adding lens compatibility. This standard is only developed by Matsushita and Olympus. And lens FTS based is produced by Sigma.

With MFTS, it's possible to produce high resolution image from small device, that's what they claimed. But untill now, there is no further information about the actual size of their new camera system or when they are going to publish it in the market.
