Olympus did this already! The OM77 has aperture info displayed in the
viewfinder... of course can tell nothing about "conventional" lenses... but
this is not necessarly a drawback. There is compatibilty as long it can be.
Also has the 1/125 x vertical shutter. 

Imho the wish list could be added by a new 77 camera, or even better an IS
series with interchangeable OM AF lenses (compatible with conventional
ones). The IS series has a wonderful shape and the only thing  missing is
the bayonet...
