I don't know about the Olympus cameras you guys are discussing, but I have
never had any luck trying to expose to the right with ANY digital camera. If
I do, I always lose some highlights. I just don't think the histograms on
35mm format digital SLRs are large enough to see accurately if you're losing
anything to overexposure.
