It can't just be an E-7 or something, because that'll confuse Four Thirds users.

That won't be a problem if there is a 4/3 adapter in the kit. Thus everyone will be happy.

I second E-M1, but if it's as good as I "hope", I'd be fine with OMG.

I think you are right, OM43 seems most likely.

This could be pretty interesting if it were made as well as an E3.

I'm thinking E-M1, but that might confuse people with the E-PM1.
