When considering Olympus digital you're forgetting about the m.4/3
cameras which have a much shorter registration distance than the 4/3
bodies. Therefore, Canon, Konica and many others are also, not only
possible but available. The Minolta mount for m.4/3 is quite
straightforward with nothing to dislike.
Nikon AF is almost as adaptable between film and digital as is Pentax.
You can use old AF Nikon lenses on Nikon digital bodies except that the
older AF lenses which use a camera powered screw drive can only be
operated by the higher end Nikon bodies.

We have a tremendous advantage in keeping with the Olympus digital
products as the shorter registration distance allows us to use lenses
with a wide variety of film camera mounts, except for Canon and
Konica. I've been using OM, Nikon F/Ai, Cosina/Yashica, Pentax, and
Minolta base lenses with equal ease, though I don't like the adapter
for the Minolta lenses very much.
I can only think of Pentax having a similar advantage as you can use
their film MF, film AF, and digital lenses with equal ease as the
mount remained essentially the same when they transitioned from film
to digital.
