I have no idea whether the rumored revival of the Olympus Pen is a hoax, but
it's actually a move that might make sense, for the following reason.
Six-megapixel CCDs are about the size of *half* of a 35-mm negative. The
Nikon digital cameras include extra optics to reduce the image to fit on the
CCD. A new Olympus Pen could have both digital and film bodies, using the
same lenses effectively.
