Fair enough, I know that. However it's sold with the Olympus brand, which may
indicate some interrest in keeping the OM alive from Olympus (without setting
up their own production line)

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of "Hey, when a manual camera is
released with the Olympus brand and the OM-prefix to the model, then it might
be Olympus trying to probe the market for such devices"....and I would like to
see an OM-5 as much as the next guy on this list. However if Olympus release a
manual camera and their sales are zero, then guess what happens to the
prospects of seeing more manual cameras.....
(That said, I do not just buy things "for a greater course". I was seriously
considering buying a new body, THEN Olympus - or cosina - came with the OM2000
and I thought the above....)
