Hi Ingemar,

I've only handled an OM-10 once.  The OM2000 is lighter, but it's not
because it's made of titanium.<G>  My impression is that it is made of a
lot more plastic than an OM-10, but the plastic is probably better quality
and cheaper than was available when OM-10s were being manufactured. One of
Olympus' points of advertisement about the OM2000 is the amount of aluminum
in its construction (frame? plus top and bottom?).  Ten years from now ...
your guess is as good as mine.
