A small windfall has meant that I’ve upgraded, and the S7000 is up for sale with a few extras. It’ll be in eBay next week, but if anyone here is interested then send me a PM. I’m in south Liverpool.

I’m still wrestling with myself over whether to get the shutter fixed on the trusty OM-2 I’ve had for 20-odd years. Decisons, decisions….

I would have it repaired William the OM-2 is a classic camera.

I’ve already got a Fuji 2800Z as the backup, so I reckon I can’t be running a stable of three cameras!
The new one’s a Fuji S9600 – more of an incremental advance on the S7000than a quantum leap. but they’re as low as £255 on Amazon at the moment, and the first signs are that it’s a useful advance, particularly with its ability to track a moving object and all-round faster responses.
The Olympus, which I hadn’t clocked, looks impressive from its spec. I’m a long standing Olympus loyalist, and I’m still wrestling with myself over whether to get the shutter fixed on the trusty OM-2 I’ve had for 20-odd years. Decisons, decisions….

I’d keep it if I were you. If you’ve upgraded to a dSLR you might still find it useful.
PS/ Have you seen the new bridge camera from Olympus – the SP-550 UZ? 18x Optical Zoom – 2.5″ LCD panel – upto ISO 5000. Takes a TCON 1.7 (which you might have – it’s a favourite among Fuji bridge owners). Digital Camera give it 5 stars and Editors Choice award. They’re giving it a street price of £349, which looks very competitive in this market.
