Pentax is the only company that made mirrorless camera directly compatible with SLR lenses but at least now their mirrorless are not really popular. Fuji, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony - all come with new mount. Obviously, it is possible to use essentially any lens on any mirrorless camera with adapter but this combination generally is bulkier than the proprietary lens. Just compare standard zooms for Nikon DLSR and Nikon 1. Why anyone would "invest" in (D)SLR lenses now? No doubt DSLRs from Nikon and Canon are superior to mirrorless cameras but mirrorless segment is growing fast. It is also very innovative: Samsung added WiFi, Fuji came with new color filter, Panasonic made arguably the best mirrorless camera for video, GH2, Olympus just released their best mirrorless camera so far. For people like me the mirrorless cameras are more attractive than DSLR: I don't need super-fast autofocus but would prefer to have small and light camera.
I suspect Olympus OM-D E-M5 is better than the Olympus E-30 at least for image quality, and it is definitely cheaper, at least in Australia, even not counting for free MMF-3 (current promotion in Australia).
