Admittedly, I'm just getting started with both cameras, but for me right
now I find the spot metering on the 2000 easier to use than the 2s. You
can easily toggle back and forth to compare the spot reading to the
center weighted one, without having to play around between auto mode and
manual mode. With either one you're limited to manual mode in spot
metering. I know this is heresy, since the 2000 is not from pure olympus
bloodlines, so what am I missing here? [Please have mercy and don't say
I need a 3 or 4 :-) ]
