Why? It's possible (not proven yet) that it won't accept Leica M
lenses (and others) with an adapter like the micro 4/3rds cameras do.
Something about the lens mount throat diameter and the registration
distance. If this is the case, it just illustrates one more company
that only sees conventional customers as its potential customers.

Conventional customers will make the sensible choice, a Nikon or Canon
DSLR, with a respectable range of lenses available.

But, a lot of owners of Canon and Nikon have bought into micro 4/3rds
as a portable second camera system.
I don't think anyone is positioning these products to replace full
DSLR systems, though some have jumped ship.
