If I want to be on "the safe side", should I sell my OM-10 and get another more
reliable OM? (Or just get another OM.)Is it worth let some one check my camera
every third (?) year instead of buy another camera? The thing is that I am not a
heavy user, I shoot in periods and when I see something to picture, so get
another OM (one digit OM) feels a bit unnecessary.
Any one, any advise?
