> First of all,I'd like to say hello to all.I just joined this yesterday.
> I've been using the OM system since 1977.I currently own 4 bodies (2 OM-1,
> OM2S Program,and OM4),2 winder2s,1-winder1,6 lenses,three flashes(one T-20,
> at the moment buying a T32 soon).And of course,tons of accessories.I also
> have an XA in ex condition and PenFF half-frame.
> I suppose for the record,I should also say I've been BACK in the camera
> sales business for about 4 years.The reason I mention this is because of the
> emails I read this morning.
> I can tell you from my own personal experience that Olympus is NOT
relying
> on their digital sales as their main sales,although they are considered the
> best under $1000 and are doing well.Olympus has had and still has a huge
> sales in their point and shoots.In my own personal experience,I sell one
> Olympus for every one of ALL the other brands put together.And they've just
> introduced two new models,the Stylus 28-80 and StylusZoom140.
> Having said that,I DO agree that Olympus SHOULD give their OM line more
> consideration.There are ALOT of people out their that are still interested in
> manual cameras.I for one,was hoping with the introduction of the OM2000 that
> some more reasonably priced lens and accessories would follow.I also think
> that if they gave more fanfare to the OM2000,it'd do quite well.There are
> alot of photography students out there looking for such a camera.It's only
> competitor in that price range are the two Minolta manuals still in existance
> (or the VERY cheap ricoh KR5).I haven't yet gotten the price on Pentax's new
> manual.
> Ah,well.Wanted to say hello,and glad to see this interest out here.
