Well not too many people here will tell you to buy an Aria <g>. In a way,
since you already have three Oly lenses, you may as well stay with Oly and
get a 4t.
I have two Arias and a 4t and an OM1.
Someone else didn't know what 'evaluative' metering is. It's also known as
'matrix', or 'segmented'. The camera segments the photo into five or more
sections, reads from each section, and based on its software algorythims,
determines an exposure. It's a lot better than centerweighted auto, IMHO.
So whether multi-spot is better, depends on the skill of the operator. If
you read all the right areas, it will be better. If you read all the wrong
areas, it will be worse :-)
