Refernce the reply below - I agree fully with this one. I stay away from
electrical gadgets when possible (my truck is a '77 - no "black boxes" in
the fuel system etc). The few electronic gadgets I have or buy I consider
disposable items - because that is what they are. Disposable. Hence my OM-1
;)

Don't forget repairability!!!! John and Clint provide a superb service for
little $. As far as I know, there is no such service for digital. This is
why I will not purchase an E20 or "serious" SLR (probably ever). As I have
posted to the list before, I have had 3 friends have their digicams fry out
of warranty (2 Nikon and 1 Olympus). Manufacturers said cheaper to buy
another....what a crock as far as I am concerned. If this happened when I
had a "serious" $3000 digicam, it would be horrific. This has happened, if
you check some of the popular review sites out (dpreview forum).
Switching to all digital is folly for this reason alone....you'll have to
keep buying stuff forever!!!! My OM1n is about 20 years old and is now
getting a CLA at Camtech. Can't do a CLA on a digicam. My OM1n should be
running for another 20 years, then I'll get another CLA, and well, I'll be
63. No present digicam will last long (the calendar on the E20 only goes to
2030 anyway).
