Dave, welcome to the OM list. I'm sure you'll find many interesting
insights and valuable nuggest of knowledge here. I know I have.
The OM2000 provides spot metering in addition to center weighted averaging.
It is a good metering system. The OM2000 lacks the full capabilities of the
OM system such as motor drive or interchangable backs. However, many
photographers do not require these system features. I recommend you find a
shop that sells them and handle it, feel it, determine how it feels in your
own hands.
The 3Ti is certainly a magnificent camera. At $1500 it darn sure better be!
It is on my dream list too. The 3Ti provides center weighted average
metering a la OM-1, plus spot metering up to 8 spots, and hilight and shadow
controls at the press of a button. It also sports an all mechanical shutter
(no battery power required) and OTF auto-flash. The 3Ti is a full system
camera, accepting all Oly accessories and attachments.
