Yes, the managers at JIP and OMDS can probably sense that Pen Fii is likely to be profitable BUT the big boss at JIP still need to nod his head for the rest to proceed as it probably involves millions for R&D and tooling.
The PenF is actually introduced 8 years ago in 2016 and at that time it was a very capable compact camera.
BUT OMDS cannot it to succeed by just rebranding the PenF and add some minor features like what it did to the OM-5 from the EM5 for the Pen-F ii.
The Pen Fii need not be as capable as the OM-1 given its small size but I felt that it still needs to have some computational features like ND & GND, and enough video features for blogging and maybe user loadable LUT like the Panasonic S9 for uses to upload film profiles etc.
The Pen Fii will actually be a very attractive compact camera that can interchange lenses. And Olympus and Panasonic actually has a huge a collection of fast and compact primes, which even Sony is pale in comparison as most of its prime is still much larger than m43 primes.
