Here's my double-Lincoln's worth...

System compatibility is, by far, the most important criterion.  Size/weight 
second.  I think something like a non-plastic OM-2000 would be ideal.  
Non-battery shutter would be a plus, but would drive the cost up.

Perhaps, depending on my needs.

Good price point.

>Would you buy such a camera in the next two years?

Yes, if my OM-2S bites the dust.  Would be competing with the pile of used 
OM3/4 iron out there, so would have to offer something significantly different 
from those cameras.

At this point, I would expect a new system to emerge that might incorporate AF, 
which implies a new lens system.  Use of titanium is irrelevant.  No.
