I used an OMPC for years before I found this list, and was quite happy with
it. And I had no problems with it either. I miss the ESP, and film window,
but I also think I'd miss the spot metering on the 2s. As to which is the
better snapshot camera..... well I used the PC on program a lot, and just
realized after reading Moose's review that I never use the 2s on program.
Now I have to figure out why. Maybe its because I'm always toggling between
spot and aperture priority.
