I was thinking where Olympus can find their best audience for their
manual-focus SLRs. Judging from this group and occasional postings in
Usenet regarding manual-focus SLRs, there are people out there who prefer
manual-focus SLRs to auto-everything photomachines. There is a huge price
gap between the Leicas/the OM-3Ti/4Ti and the lowly OM2000. If Olympus can
come up with an OM-4 well below $1000 street price and can make the best of
the two OM-4Ti articles, they should find some audience.
They probably should not try to compete with Canon where Canon does best,
and Olympus should find another niche.
