Dunno - I haven't actually seen one of them (yet). Someone remarked
that they use the same body as another of the current Oly SLRs (film based)
so possibly one could compare that way. I suspect you could mount 'em
base to base if need be. Synchronization and so forth is yet to be
determined as how/what kind of problems there might be. Since it IS an
SLR (from what I understand) there might be some actual mechanical
movement on the release required, as opposed to just an electrical
contact (which brings up an interesting point - I wonder if you have
to "cock" the camera to set the mirror swing up, even though there's
no film :-)

All of this is speculation of course...

I might try posting a note on rec.cameras.digital and see if I can find
out (unless someone here knows...)
