Not really.  Quite the opposite.  In terms of what counts, photographs,
the OM aesthetic lives on 1:1.  My 5D is constantly in manual mode and
engagement with it is closest thing in digital photography to using and
OM-1 that I have experienced.  The camera is actually fairly simple and
basic in operation, too.

People are wired up differently.  I get visceral excitement from the 5D,
and Ken will too once he starts looking at the images on his soon-to-be
inadequate computer.  Mama knows!
