There was a thread on a popular on-line photography forum asking what people took with them, gear wise, when they were out and about. Most replied that they take everything. DSLR body, big tele zoom. Big wide angle zoom, fast prime, flash, diffuser, spare batteries, memory cards etc etc. Me, well I like to travel light. I took this 30 year old camera with me on the trip to WHL to see Spurs today. The more I use this little Olympus, the more I like it. Small, light, quick. It's all I need for most trips. I can focus it with the middle finger of my left hand and quicker than most digicams, while the wind on lever is in the perfect position for my right thumb. Full manual when I need it, shutter priority auto when I'm in a hurry. They don't make them like this anymore...
