Actually they've developed no less than seven different AF SLR cameras after
OM-7(0)7, namely the iS cameras ;)

Of course one can argue that these are referred to as ZLR's (Zoom Lens Reflex)
cameras by Oly, but the fact is that they're just as often also simply referred
to
as SLR's (also by Oly). Just because they are only making non-interchangeable
lens
AF cameras (incl. digitals) nowadays does_not_mean that there hasn't been any
development by Oly since OM-7(0)7 in the AF field.
