Boy, I like that argument!

Hey, if this camera is produced, don't you think that Olympus would produce a OM-System Zuiko to new-Pen-System lens adapter?? :-)

So I'm still not giving up hope that this phantom camera actually surfaces. Maybe at Photokina??

I have no idea whether the rumored revival of the Olympus Pen is a hoax, but
it's actually a move that might make sense, for the following reason.
Six-megapixel CCDs are about the size of *half* of a 35-mm negative.  The
Nikon digital cameras include extra optics to reduce the image to fit on the
CCD.   A new Olympus Pen could have both digital and film bodies, using the
same lenses effectively.
