around $700

No, maybe but not if incompatible with existing lenses

Not larger, but with capacity to add a digital back which I will accept to
be a bit bulky.

OM lens mount
-----------
Its not part of the questionnaire and may have been part of the earlier
thread, but for the record my OM3 would be perfect if I had a mirror lock up
and aperture in the viewfinder.
I would also like a simplified, more reliable OM4, not the OM 2SP which was
the most unreliable camera I ever owned.
I like the OM system for the following core values :
* small size
* great lenses
* excellent design and ergonomics
* sturdy and reliable (except OM2sp)
