More than not a priority, which is indeed true, it is also an optical
impossiblity on the 4/3 and APS sized sensors.

Even there, nothing is going to come up to an OM-1 or 2. I can't
remember well enough what the view through a high end Can*n film SLR was
like, but seem to recall it was almost up to an OM-4. The 1Ds II and 5D
will be major improvements over any of the small frame sensor DSLRs
simply because they have are starting with a much bigger viewscreen.
