Hello - this is my first post so sorry in advance if its too technical/obvious/stupid.
What I want to know is - if there is a digital camera that I can use manual focus OM system lenses with from my old film camera(OM4Ti)? I suspect there is not but rumours abound. If such a thing does exist please can someone tell me.

Thanks in anticipation :)
 
My recommendation would be this one which you can use on a Micro Four Thirds camera. It gets good reviews and is quite cheap

with the appropriate lens to mount adapter both Micro 4/3 (Olympus & Panasonic) & Sony's NEX system can do this.
Probably Fuji's X system & Samsung's NX system can too but they aren't as popular so you may have more hassle getting adapters.

Adapters for Fuji X cameras are available on ebay from just over £15, the Samsung ones start just a little cheaper at just over £12.

Focusing manually with a Compact System Camera is quite easy as they have focus aids such as focus peaking and/or a magnified view.

You can also get adapters to use legacy lenses on DSLR's, for example I've used my Zuiko's on my 5D via an adapter that cost just over £5.
 
I had an adaptor for my OM to my Four Thirds E-510. Cost me about £8 on ebay.

You can get one on pretty much any mount, especially mirorless cameras as the flange distance is so tiny you can get infinity focus.
