:There is one signifficant difference between Canon and Nikon 
:lenses used on digital bodys and Zuikos.
:The former are autofocus-lenses the Zuikos are not.
:Afaik all consumer and semipro digital cameras feature autofocus.
:If Olympus had a state of the art autofocus SLR-system, they 
:would build digital bodys with compatble lensmount.

Olympus actually owns an AF OM lens mount and a small array of AF OM lenses,
for the OM-707. All they would have to do is put these lenses back into
production and add a lens that would match the specific requirements of the
CCD size (like the 9-28mm zoom of the C-2500L).
