I think some major critisism have been levied against Olympus in the last decade or so.....Olympus have certainly appeared to move toward the direction of where companies like Leica are, and less so mainstream...I think that all started when production numbers got cut dramatically, back in the days of the OM4 etc Olympus started getting all 'exclusive' prices shot up over night, in some cases doubling.
My only personal critisism of Olympus E-series cameras is they really missed a trick by not retaining the OM mount design....The small but very dedicated band of Olympus fans were gutted about that one too.

I absolutely agrees about the OM mount. There were no AF connections to worry about so why change? Anyway water under the bridge.
