Strength:
Good looking, nicely finished, all manual camera with spot metering, operates without batteries at all speeds, double exposure capability, bright viewfinder, mirror lock-up that is activated activated by the self timer, takes Zuiko lenses which can be had in used condition for reasonable prices.
Weakness:
Shutter is loud, self timer lever feels flimsy. The camera is turned on and off by pulling the film advance lever in and out. This can get in the way. It's worth the price at $160 for the body alone. The strengths out weigh the weaknesses and I am enjoying shooting with the OM2000 very much. Customer Service Not needed. Similar Products Used: OM-1n |

OM-2000 Body
Strength:
Purchased the OM-2000 to add to my collection of mechanical, manual SLRs. An excellent and under rated body -- possibly because of its Cosina-origin. Rugged, and accurate metering, especially with the spot meter. A joy to use.
Weakness:
None An excellent value, plus the availability of generally superior Zuiko lenses makes for an excellent combination. A much overlooked and under appreciated body. An absolute steal at the current "street price." Customer Service None required Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
Complete freedom of expression, I love getting creative and experimenting
Weakness:
As advertised the shutter's a bit noisy but I don't mind. If you like the whole eperience of photography this is a good camera, if you're the point and shoot type you'd get along better with something more automated. Similar Products Used: I had an Minolta SRT-101 before, but I love this one best. |
