On the other hand, I was talking to a pro a few years ago who'd switched out
of OM to Nikon. He said he wasn't getting reliability. He spent a lot of
time in light planes and hypothesized it was the vibration that was doing
them in (though I figure it should have been easy enough to isolate the
camera from that).
