The E-1 will/can never be mass-market, either, even though it has all the 
mod-cons. But it means at least that Olypmus does have the technology.

I just don't believe that a digital OM body would be expensive in terms of R&D 
or production. And whilst I agree that it's not a camera your average 
man-in-the-street would buy, I also don't think that necessarily makes it wrong.
