If you click on the little yellow "English Digest" bit near the top of
the page, you get a, erm, digested (& reconstituted) pseudo-English
version, of marginal comprehensibility.
However, I managed to fish this bit out:
"- Don't consider using the lens of Film Camera. The lens design united
with small CCD is best."
- "Size, Quality of Image, Price, and the Ease of Using are Bests."
- It is "since Not Having Carried Out Lens Exchange Wanted to Stabilize
Price to 200,000 or Less Yen."
- "Newly building a lens system cannot give the benefit of future
technical innovation, since CCD size will be fixed."
Which I think means that the lens is not removeable and even if it were,
it wouldn't have the OM mount and you shouldn't use film camera lenses
anyway (an opinion Olympus has expressed before, you will recall).
Still, as a sort of digital IS 3000, it could still be a desirable
little gadget - but still well out of range of my credit card.
