Hey, you're alienating some of the newer list members here! The OM2000 is a
good basic camera, which when coupled with the same zuiko glass that any of
the other bodies wear is capable of taking some fine pictures. Given the
price it is a perfectly reasonable entry level SLR (I hope so anyway since I
just got one to replace my OM2n after it went swimming in Sydney Harbor). I
assume that the point here was not to criticise the OM2000, but to compare
Olympus's lack of development with Nikon's abundance of development.
Hey, my friends laughed when they realised I had bought a _manual_ camera, I
don't need the Oly list laughing too! :(
(actually I'm having fun and that's all that matters)
Cheers,
Mike
