Most definitely the way for me. I don't understand why the other makers
went with the dial on the top.

Much more convenient where Olympus puts it. It does take some getting used
to if you've been using any other system. The placement of the shutter speed
on the OM2000 is a distraction that will take some getting used to..
fortunately I used a Ricoh for years so I'm used to the setup.
Other than Olympus and Mamiya, has any other SLR manufacturer ever put the
shutter speed dial where it really belongs?
