Hi,
I bought the OM 2000 a couple years ago for abought $150.00 [I think thats
about the correct price if my memory serves me right].I love the spot
metering on it. In my opinion it's dead on. Great exposures!!! However,on
mine, the mirror occasionally hangs up during longer exposures,especially
in the summer.[hmmm!] The shutter is VERY LOUD [ALMOST EAR PIERCING].If it
breaks somehow,or needs an overhaul, You could get it fixed for almost the
same price that it cost to get a new one. Personally, I recomend that you
NEVER EVER buy one from e-bay unless it's almost free.Your much better off
just getting one brand new because they're cheap enough. Since then I've
bought an OM2 for about $180.00 used in excelent[9+] condition from
ritzcam.com. In my opinion it's just a much better camera. Get a used OM2s
if you want spot metering. The OM2 or 2S is more expensive usually then an
OM2000 but they're a much better camera all around.
The reason I bought the OM 2000 first instead of the others is BECAUSE IT
WAS A NEW PRODUCT [yaknow,used car fear syndrome]. Based on many
facts,opinions,and experience, the OM2000 is NOT A BETTER MADE product. I
still use it and genuinely like it alot,BUT I hate it next to the OM2.Not a
bad second body ...but... others on the list can fill you in on spec details
for the OM2000 OM2[S] etc. if you need them. Hope this helps.

Subject: [OM] OM-2000 anyone have much experience?
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 15:34:50 -0700 (PDT)
I see an OM-2000 being offered on e-bay and was
wondering. Does anyone have any experience with this
Cosina made camera. If so what was that experience
like, was it a nice camera, not so nice, total crap? I
have an OM-1n so I'm noit going to get it but I was
just wondering if in the future this might be one of
those extra extra extra kind of cameras to have around
when you want to take pics but don't want to use an
OM-1n, 2, 3, or 4. Or would an OM-10 variant be a
better choice. And yes I know the features of the
OM-2000 so I don't need to go into that kind of
discussion. Thank you for your time.
