Any opinions?

Why is the LX praised as being a modern classic, when it seems
technically
inferior to the OM4?

Duncan.

technically inferior? In what way(s)


Was really thinking of lacking spot-metering, really.
Duncan.

Lack of spot metering hardly makes the LX technically inferior does it?
Really?


Well... I think it's extremely useful to have, but I concede that the LX
has other features, like the waterproofed seals and interchangeable finders.
It's just that my perfect camera would be small, quiet, have a spot meter
and a 100% finder.

Any ideas? I've seen an Olympus OM4 for sale at £230 and was wondering why
the LX is thought to be better.
