If anyone comes up with a real source (beyond urban legend) for an OM lens
to EOS body adapter, please post it and also let me know :)
Much as I hold out hope for the 4/3 system, my "ace in the hole" will be to
go to the dark side...eventually.

Did you just miss Norman's post? This is my thinking also. For our
"business," we will need to get a digital system some times next year.
Looking at the current crop, the Sigma still has a way to go, so it is
still down to either the Nik*n D100 or the Can*n D60. The Can*n 1Ds and the
Kod*k DCS-14n is just out of the budget. If either Pent*x or the Olydak 4/3
comes out a 6+MP system w/ good selection of lens in a form factor that I
like, then great. Otherwise, then it will have to be either the D100 or the
D60, with the D60 has the potential advantage of able to use the Zuiko with
an adapter. I think the D100 is much lighter though, being based on the
lighter F100/F80 film body.
Richard,
The D100 is 77 grams lighter than the D60. I don't how this would
change if you put a battery grip on either camera. DPreview has a
good comparison of the D100 vs. the D60. For a side by side, find the
D100 review; it has a fairly detailed comparison of the D100 vs. D60.

The D100 was rated better for autofocus performance, and the color of
the Nikkor lenses was more contrasty, but the D60 outscored it on
resoluton and image quality by a skosh. Both are excellent cameras,
though.
