Hmmm, I wasn't trying to improve an existing camera, rather to inquire
as to how one would design a system that could be infinitely adaptable.
Your suggestion of the semi-silvered mirror and dial-in flash is more
along the lines I was thinking where one could adapt the tool to their
specific use. I think that Oly was successful in developing the OM
system to do as many things as it does so well.
Also, I am curious why a higher flash sync is valuable to you. I often
find myself using the manual mode so that I can get *longer* shutter
syncs! ;) and I sympathize partly with the aperture in the VF, in fact,
I'd like to see how much compensation instead of just the +/-.

An 8 megapixel digital back of course. And a lens that will tilt and
shift. A new line of "S" lenses maybe including some plastic
aspheric elements that duplicate the performance of the white Zuikos
for a third of the price. Some new zooms with similar technology to
the great IS models. Matrix metering for center weighted mode.
Dial-in fill flash. Faster shutter synch. Further work on the quiet
shutter and the ability to use a semi silvered mirror that can be
locked in place for a stealth mode like an old Canon Pellix. Aperture
read out in the finder.
