What, if any, are the advantages of an OM-2S over an OM-2N?
Advantage: Program mode - camera selects shutter speed and aperture. Great
when you want to hand the camera to someone and get in the picture
Disadvantage: Program mode - the extra linkages required slows the maximum
motor drive speed to 3.5fps in all modes
Advantage: Spot metering in manual mode
Disadvantage: Only spot metering in manual mode, no center weighted available
Advantage: Sub-mirror based metering - allows for use of 2-x screen without
modification or affect on meter readings
Advantage: Mirror/aperture prefire with selftimer
Disadvantage: No way to stop the self timer or adjust the delay
Advantage: Sexiest shutter sound in OM-dom
Disadvantage: Loudest shutter of the single-digit OMs
Disadvantage: Standard green flash LED drains camera battery; a modification
to a red LED that uses flash power is available
Disadvantage: Continuous battery drain, but I get 6 months to a year out of a
set in mine
Hope this helps make up your mind. Personally, I like and use both ;-)
