Advantages: Compatible with most OM accessories Disadvantages: Manual functions not to everyone's taste
When is an Olympus OM camera not an OM camera? When it's the OM2000.
Olympus produced their first camera in the OM range, the OM-1, in the early 1970's. Subsequent models were based on the original design right through to the ultimate model in the series, the wonderful OM-4ti. However, not too long before Olympus ceased production of conventional SLR cameras they released a camera onto the market which was from a different background, though it was still compatible with the vast array of Olympus/Zuiko and aftermarket lenses that were readily available.

The story is a complete let down and nothing else can save the film from going down.Farah khan is a popcorn director, hardly making her presence felt(other than the songs ofcourse!she is obviously brilliant in terms of choreography). The cast does a fine job in ...
