Ken, we have sold a number of them and not had any come back! Every time the
camera gets a good review in a photography magazine we get a bunch of orders! I
have used one of the earliest ones when the OLY Rep got me one and I thought it
eas a great little camera for the $$$! Doers fall short on features for the
experienced loyal OM addicts! Paul.
