two OM-PCs, and an OM-77...guess I can comment some...

Yeah, as long as she doesn't get too rough with it. It strikes me as a bit

No. You get aperture-preferred auto mode only - and no readout in the
viewfinder at all. Further, there's nothing but a matte screen - no
microprism or split-image or anything like that. Maybe as an emergency
backup when you're far from home, but that's all I'd think of it for in that
role.
