That's a good idea, and I personally wish Olympus did
that, as I have a lot of lenses for my Oly SLRs.
Unfortunately, they do not.

Typically, most digital camera models no longer offer
interchangeable lenses, until you get up to the
high-end 'prosumer' or digital SLRs for enthusiasts
and professionals. And then they are often
digital-specific lenses. These lenses and cameras, of
course, are much more expensive, and I believe John
was looking for a medium-priced model.

As always, learn what's available, assess your own
needs, and start shopping.

Good luck!
