In fact there are many collector rather than so called photographer
around. They owned many top of the range camera equipment like Leica
and used to boast around. Sad to say that these people rarely used
their "precious equipment" and it is always remain in its original
mint condition.

I've never touched one, but wasn't the "O" product a camera made solely (or
nearly so) for the collectible market? Thus Olympus has experience with this
type of sales technique. I feel betrayed if so. Camera should do what they
are supposed to do, take great photos. The form will follow function. Here
something is misguided in that they are selling to collectors. But such is
the dark side of capitalism.
