The camera that goes byup, byup. My wifes old boss had one of those. The only problem with the EM was that it was AE only. It was actually a pretty tough little camera. A knowedgable operator could set the aperture where he wanted it, then dial in the shutter speed using the ISO dial. The advantage of the EM was that it didn't have the flexible curcuit board that the FG/ FG20 had, which is what made that series so unreliable. The downside is that full camera functions is pretty limited on that camera. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
