If the OM-3 was so unpopular with buyers, why did they go on to produce the 
even more expensive 3Ti when it offered (to all intents and purposes) the same 
apparent *subset* of functionalities of the 4Ti as the 3 did of the 4? After 
all, on paper the 4Ti offered more and cost 2/3 as much. Anyone here buy a 3Ti 
new? Why did they choose it over the 4Ti?

If they won't appease a few old OM users by producing an OM-6 digital back, 
then why did they produce a camera like the 3Ti when sales of the 3 had told 
them there was little market for such a camera?
