[OM] OM series durability and toughness

[Mike Spadafora]

Hey guys,

        I have read that many previous users of Olympus, including National 
Geographic shooter Sam Abell, state that Olympus gear is great but delicate!  I 
have owned and used much N*k*n gear including their pro stuff and my OM-1's 
don't seem any less fragile?  is it a designer name thing, do so called pros 
have to be seen with the "in" equipment?  

Mike
