I've never touched one, but wasn't the "O" product a camera made solely (or
nearly so) for the collectible market? Thus Olympus has experience with this
type of sales technique. I feel betrayed if so. Camera should do what they
are supposed to do, take great photos. The form will follow function. Here
something is misguided in that they are selling to collectors. But such is
the dark side of capitalism.
