That wasn't my point. It seems to be Olympus's position that their
camera is so good, so perfect, that it has needed no improvement for
nearly a decade, they can charge what they like for it, and
give customers practically no choice of OM bodies. It isn't
necessary to find an example of a better camera. It seemed to me
that my post was relevant to several recent threads on the "demise"
of OM, the OM-2000, the merits of the OM-2SP and peoples' favourite
OM's, which was why I started a new topic for it.

The Nikon F90x is very heavy, but has excellent ergonomics.
They were designed by a specialist and are, rightly, a selling
point. The Contax Aria looks good from the brochures. TTL/OTF
metering and spot metering are no longer "sophisticated".
