>From a mostly silent list reader... I really enjoy the spirited debates.
I've used an OM1 for 15 years that I've supplemented with a non-Oly P&S and
medium format.
Every time I look at alternative 35mm SLRs I'm turned off by the size and
weight that's close to an MF camera.

The ca. $700. If the OM4Ti price tracks the exchange rate, this camera
could be here very soon!
My only real complaint with the OM1n is that it doesn't have OTF flash. I
could probably learn to love a better meter and I'd like to stop hoarding
gray market mercury batteries.

No.

Not by much.

System compatibility.
