With what sensor size/format? I don't see how they could back off their 4/3
committment, and carrying two lines of equipment (assuming a DigiOM would
require different lenses) would be pretty costly in a time when they've got
significant red ink. I'd love a D-OM, mind you, but am having trouble seeing
how the bean counters (who probably got them in this mess in the first place)
would approve such a plan. Hope I'm wrong!
