Hi all:
I finally got around to getting my hands on an OM2000 in a local camera
shop this weekend, while looking for used Oly stuff. I know some of you
on the list like this camera, but to me, it is unforgivably flimsy. I
can't imagine one of these cameras lasting for more than a few years,
even with light use. The Cosina zooms are likewise very lightweight.
This, and the fact that the controls are in a different location than
all other Oly cameras means that I hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
I think anyone getting into Olympus would be much better served by an
OM-G or OM-2N. I'm certain a used OM-G will last much longer than a
used OM2000, and they are more fully compatible with all the Oly
accessories.
Now, admittedly, I've never *used* an OM2000, just played with one in
the store. Do others who have experience with it have different
opinions?
Cheers,
--Lee
