I thought I'd better make my vote public:

>1. Which one of the new OM bodies (OM reissues with possibly a few new

OM-4 reissue ca. $700 and OM-5 around $1500, the order of purchase depends
on what exact features the OM-5 would have and the condition of my OM-4T at
the time of the introduction of these models.

No

The OM2000 is about 7% bigger in volume than the 4T according to my
calculations, and yet I find it nice to hold, so this might be a good upper
limit. The OM-5 with a higher metal content would be heavier than the
OM2000, so the increase in volume might have to be limited to perhaps under
5o that the feeling of a compact SLR can be had.

>feature. I will not count those votes with two items here.
Compactness
