These cameras are so simple to operate but one can really get into the moment because there are no other distractions. It's quite amazing to think that they still work after 40+ years. <br /><br />A little while back I reviewed the EEs-2:<br />http://andbethere.blogspot.it/2012/12/olympus-pen-ees-2-review.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01625444338511288475noreply@blogger.com
