Come on, Joseph! You're not really trying. (see below)

Surely, you don't consider the spotmeter a trivial addition.
Besides, the use of the OM mount makes the OM2000 the only
camera in this category with a DOF preview feature. Nothing
to sneeze at, IMHO, esp. in the under $250 student camera
category.
Finally, I find the OM2000 appearance more pleasing than
the FM10, but that's of course a matter of taste.
Jeez, I can't believe you actually made me defend the OM2000!!
Shame on you, Joseph. [sob, sob] I feel sooooo used... :-)
