I expect Olympus to be quite focussed towards digital photography, so I
expect a digital camera with OM-mount.  Let's hope it's got all the
goodies (e.g. light metering system, compact, compatible, ...).  Let's
also hope that it's future-proof, i.e. you can change the CCD so that
when the 16Kx16K CCD in full 24-bit, with hardware grain-simulation
comes out, you can fit it in the OM-5 too.  :-)
