maybe it is the biggest market, but we Europeans are very old-fashioned, so
maybe, just for nostalgia, they tried holland out first (Olympus OM was Very
popular here once) BTW, they also release new music first in the Benelux
countries, and afterwards to the rest of the world. (and in our maps, Europe
lies in the middle... it is all about point of view)
Anyway, I just hope the news comes true in some way... I just remember the
grin the Olympus salesman got on his face when I aked about a digital camera
back or a digital body compatible with OM-system last spring at Olympus
Plaze Tokyo, after a CLA of my trusty OM4ti...
