I found this news in 43rumors.
Translation from google:
'The SVCam-EVO "Tracer" combines the excellent features of the EVO series with the advantages of a controlled about Micro Four Thirds lens. They thus allowing total control over focal length (zoom), focus and iris. Thus, the lens becomes a fully integrated part of the camera. Of sophisticated photo field of micro-4/3 "lens standard was used. This standard consists of a widespread bayonet system for compact cameras and is optimized for 100% of your digital image. The selection of suitable lenses is growing rapidly and can already no wishes openly'
The first announcement of the SVS-Vistek micro-4/3 camera was in September: http://www.vision-systems.com/articles/2012/09/prototype-camera-sports-micro-four-thirds-lens-mount.html The camera prototype have been shown in VISION in Stuttgart (November 2012) and in AUTOMATE 2013 in Chicago (January 2013).

BTW, there is also another (?) machine vision camera announcement, LUCY-MFT20 and LUCY-MFT40 "which are featuring CMOSIS sensors and support for Micro Four Thirds lenses": http://www.entner-electronics.com/tl/index.php/news-reader/items/vision-2012.html
GigE-Interface is standard for the industrial cameras, which just trails CoaXPress. Faster still is CameraLink, while leading the pack is HSLink. Speed-wise Thunderbolt is comparable to the fastest CoaXPress, while the Thunderbolt has stricter cable length limits.
Very interesting. I'm not a fan of GigE, but a thunderbolt version of this to combine with something small, like a NUC, would be very nice.
