Woke up to a lot of chatter about Olympus releasing a digital version of the OM SLR cameras.

My first encounter with the OM came was some time in 2009 when I was buying some film for my Nikon F2 Photomic. This dude beside me had the Olympus OM-1 and that thing was quite a beauty and reminded me of the Nikon FM2.
