Thanks Gary, 
Last when I was heading to Nepal I picked up a couple of OM 3's inpart 
because McBroom's 2 newest editions confirmed my thoughts that the OM3 was an 
updated OM1 "with all the things I'd expect including self timer etc.."
Well, the OM 3 is pretty awesome-but no self timer (or mirror lock up as 
well).
I was bummed.  I need a camera with a self timer atleast for some shots.
I have since seen the little things you can screw into the thread for the 
cable release but it seems they vibrate a tad as well.
McBroom lost my confidence.
Seems other inaccuracies go issue to issue and since I have to double check 
everything, I feel he needs to get things in order if he is going to publish 
a bible of camera knowledge.
Not his fault for creating, my fault for buying.
BTW -Why didn't OM 3's have a self timer or mirror lock up?
I imagine the 3Ti's are the same way..better go look in my McBr....NO WAY!!! 
: )
Thanks
John R
