There is only so much light that can get to the viewfinder optics by  
way of the lens and the tiny mirror. You could get a viewfinder image  
the same size as the OM, but it would be very dim. Some makers of  
reduced format cameras have found a decent engineering compromise  
with some models like the D200 and D2Xs, but there is no substitute  
for a big mirror to get a big, bright image. The 4/3 cameras are even  
further handicapped in that area.
