The OM-1 is hard to beat for backpacking. I like it with a 135mm f2.8 and a
24mm f2.8 and a holster-type case that suspends from the front of the pack
straps. /jnm

  Having owned just about every OM, (and I still have two OM-Gs), I like
them
  very much, they work very well, are more reliable than it's cousin, the
  OM-10, BUT I wouldn't want to bang one against a rock or something. Much
  plastic, as you mention. Forget about it surviving a fall, IMO. I know no
one
  'plans' on dropping their camera, but unless you consider the 'G'
  'disposable' and don't care what happens, an OM-1 would be a much much
better
  choice. Hold a '-1' and a 'G' in your hands and you'll know what I mean.

    I'm trying to put together a very light kit for backpacking. I see that
    the OMG is the lightest body. I'm sure there's lots of plastic. Just
    wondering what experience people have had with it? Thanks, John from
    Olympia, WA.
