I wouldn't go so far as to be that demeaning but the Oly designers were kind
of brain dead on this one. I guess it's find for point and shoot negative
work. But, (there's a few), there is no exposure compensation so what the
camera wants, you get. >> <snip>
Terry,
I wholeheartedly agree with Warren's assessment. I got my OM-77
because it intrigued me, not because I thought it was necessary to further my
photographic growth. There are other better choices from that photo era, both
Olympus and non-Olympus SLRs. Maybe I just wanted to own that piece of
Olympiana.
( I think that's a new one! ) It shouldn't be your main SLR body, but it's
fine as a hefty point and shoot that takes Olympus lenses. Do you _need_ one?
No. If you collect Olympus stuff, then the answer is Yes.
