I would think so when looking at these specs. But I
think you are right in that Olympus could design an
OM-6 SLR using our traditional lens. If designing a
new digital now, I would make it compatible with
present Zuikos. As for AF I would borrow Contax'
moving film box but with digital, all you would need
to move would be the sensor and not the whole mirror
box. There would be a little screen on the the back of
the camera for information and a small picture. But
the main viewfinder would be the Olympus EyeTrek
Monitor with a virtual 48 inch screen. Storage would
be with a miniature version of the Olympus
magnetoptical storage.
