There is no problem, you can always use manual mode for long exposure, no

will like it!
This is an argument I'd like to turn inside out: With an OM and a little
experience there's no need to guess, even accounting for moderate
reciprocity failure. The first shot with a DC will be hit and miss if you
don't carry a separate meter, and if light conditions change during
exposures neither DC or separate meter can compensate for it, while the OM
has OTF metering.
And then there's the LCD screens that won't work in the cold and will ruin
your night vision when they do work.
I'm not trying to start a crusade against DCs, but there are still areas
where analog cameras shine. Deep inside I was hoping that Olympus would
step forward with something special, something that could replace the OM
system or at least take over where the OM system left off, instead the
world has gained just another unremarkable digital.
