At 04:34 PM 1/15/98 -0800, Tomoko polled as follows:
[snip]
>1. Which one of the new OM bodies (OM reissues with possibly a few new
>features, one under $500, one ca. $700, and an OM-5 under $1500) would you
>buy in the next 2-5 years? Just one or two or all three? (You have to ask
>your own pocketbook and your buying habit.)
Given these prices, probably all three. (I'm *not* kidding.)
>2.Would you like to have an autofocusing OM-x? (Be honest. You don't need
>to be realistic here.)
No. It wouldn't be an OM camera. I can always buy either (a) another
Olympus product which autofocuses or (b) a competing brand.
>3. Would you be willing to have a somewhat larger OM body so that several
>new features may be accommodated?
Form factor's tricky. If enlarging it could still allow for backward
compatibility of items, yes. Otherwise, no.
>4. What is the single most important feature of the OM body that you would
>like to see retained? Please narrow your preferences down to the single
>feature. I will not count those votes with two items here.
Backwards compatibility with OM components.
Thanks, Tomoko. I wish you luck (I think you'll need it...)
