Research shows people want small compacts that perform well. That's why the EP-1 is selling well. I've sold more Panasonic GF1's in the past week than I have any Ricoh GR camera or Sigma DP1 or anything that had a fixed lens.
Don't worry, you'll all love if it comes out.
People wish for all sorts of unrealistic products. Unfortunately not enough are willing to pay reasonably for them.
