Why did Olympus call the new pro flagship E-M1x ?

The new pro flagship for the Olympus Micro Four Thirds line has just been launched. Youtubers, bloggers are having their initial impressions published.

After running through a few of these, the question that I came up with is, why did Olympus call the camera the X ? What's your guess?

  • It's X for Xtra Large?
  • It's X for eXperimantal test rig to develop all the new tech without size or energy constraints and let that trickle down later to the other cameras in the line?
  • It's X for eXtended OMD-EM1?
  • It's to balance with eXtra long lenses? 
Here are the initial impressions / videos so far.  Come to MeWe and join in the community for friendly chats on Olympus gear https://mewe.com/join/olympusfriendsaustralia
