I think that depends on how many potential buyers are Middle-Aged Men
Who Used To Shoot Chrome and Leather Cameras.

Certainly, MAMWUTSC&LC are well-represented in the current population
of photographers, not to mention mailing lists and forums on the
Internet. But they are not the only market that one should try to sell
to. I like the look of the OM-D; even though I'm not quite a
MAMWUTSC&LC, my first serious camera was my dad's, and he is. But I
think there's room in the marketplace for a variety of looks, and the
younger-than-MAMWUTSC&LC demographic has a long future in the
marketplace.
