Agreed. Whoever makes the first "from the ground up" digital SLR
design, if it's really successful and draws strong support from
independent lens and accessory manufacturers, could actually create
a true standard, cross maker, AF digital mount design. When will
Nik*n announce their first camera to take OD standard* lenses?
It's all a big IF, of course. Oly will really have to get everything
correct right from the start.

You know it just occurred to me reading your last paragraph that this
Oly request for others to make lenses for their new camera could
backfire on Olympus. Suppose someone built a 24 x 36 digital camera
system that not only took their own legacy lenses, but which with an
adaptor would also take the legacy lenses of another maker like
Olympus who no longer supports its prior customers. How many Olympus
owners might make the move to that other maker?
