I think Olympus should look at we Zuikoholics who are still committed to
buying and expanding our OM systems and say "Well, maybe there is still a
market for manual focus" - maybe its time to push the system again so mass
production could reduce the price of the new gear.
I did send a long message recently to Olympus UK, USA and Japan saying this
kind of thing which they have apparently forwarded to marketing and R&D.
Since tech stocks have plummeted and after the y2k fiasco, maybe people are
thinking its time for a return to a bit more 'human control'.

I just succumbed to a relatively inexpensive plastic digital
wonderbrick for the limited use and convenience of instant pictures
mostly for the computer. Not Oly because I was swayed by comments
from Consumer Reports about the difficult to understand menus on the
Oly and so I opted for the one that was praised for more logical
controls. Sheesh. It is like programming a VCR, only more
difficult. Manual controls are SO easy. I am astounded by the
complexity built into this little monster. The instruction booklet is
90 pages long.
