Probably a re-issue of an OM-2S, and an OM-5.

Yes and no.  For myself, I would seldom use it (and I'd hate to see
Zuikos go the route of newer Nikon autofocus... some of those lenses
don't seem very sturdy to me -- crinkle coat brass or steel and lots of
plastic).  However, I think it would probably sell more cameras.

Yes, as long as it isn't as huge as a Nikon F4/F5.

Small, lightweight size.
