They seem to go dead at the most inconvenient times too. I have made it
a practice to change the batteries in my cameras on my birthday each
year. Along with the smoke detector batteries. That way I am
reasonably assured of fresh ones when I need them.
Another reason to consider the OM 4T is the OTF (off the film) metering
in flash mode. If you ever plan to include flash macro work, this is
the best metering available. You would then also have the flash
capability for all your photograpic needs.
You would also have all the manual functions available of course, and
the OM 4T is one easy camera to get used to! :-)
