It isn't that Olympus didn't "get it", they did. The came out with a couple of AF SLRs, realized how tight the competition was and how high the cost was developing these things and opted out of the market. They decided to expand their P&S line (very successfully) and just keep making the same non AF SLRs they always did for as long as they could make money doing it. What Olympus did with AF (pass on it) is what Minolta and Pentax have done with DSLRs.
