1. one body ca. $700

Have been attempting to save for an OM4Ti, a long haul here in Oz if you
want a new one, however it may be a decade or two before I have enough
cash for that! 

2. No, not interested in autofocus, could never afford new lenses

3. Yes, but not more than 10-15% larger. 

A friend has just bought a N*&k@#!n F4, I think it's a wonderful camera,
but having recently had my first play with someone else's new OM4Ti,
give me the understated style, grace and compact, subtle, practical
elegance of the mighty OM4Ti anyday! (Hey, Olympus marketing should hire
me pronto!). This friend of mine with the F4 has a motor drive and a
metal bracket with 2 speedlight flashes either side for macro photos of
venomous Aus snakes (!) - the rig is tank-like and you need to be Conan
the Photographer to lug it around! By the way, I'm sure the mighty OM
body could withstand the assault of at least ten unhappy Inland Taipans
(twice as venomous as a Tiger rattlesnake with up to ten times the venom
yield)  (N*&^k*& would surely crumble!!)

4. Compatibility to all OM "bits", i.e. including all lenses, flashes
etc.

Cheers
