Good points Lee. I agree that splitting the list would be a good idea. 
It would make sense (to me) to have an Olympus film list (which would 
include OM, XA, film P&S, ect)  and a separate digital list for all 
digital cameras. I suspect that opinions regarding this are pretty 
divided on the list though.
