I have to agree with Jim Couch here, certainly about image making in the
back country.
I've had my OM2n for a fair while now, but I wouldn't use it for long trips
away from civilisation,
or in the winter. Battery dependance.That's why I always take the OM1n, on
its own or as a backup.
It may be the case that within my active life, film vanishes and digital is
the only choice. I hope not.
Quality will improve and become indistinguishable from film. Storage will
improve in size, weight
and capacity. Battery dependence will, I think, always be an issue for
wilderness backpackers and
people who like to be out in foul weather.
Eventually, unless by then I am moribund, camera food may become
unavailable. As my interest is
in recording my experiences, not necessarily in 'image making' per se, I may
just stop recording.
Like I say, I hope I'm moribund by then...
Donald.
