I agree wholeheartedly, Scott. I hate that feature on my cell phone. I
refuse to buy a vehicle with a digital dash. Analog gauges are intuitive
(race cars with gauges configured so "normal" indicates needle straight up
makes so much sense -- why don't manufacturers use that for everyday cars &
trucks?), and digital instrument displays are DAMNED expensive to repair
compared to analog gauges.
One reason the OM-2n is so "user friendly". I like the capabilities of the
OM-2S, but I feel JOY looking in the OM-2n viewfinder!
