I still love (and use) mine. :-) Damage was more a case of its compact, metallic soul, whilst in flight, suddenly gaining transient memory of a former capacity - a "previous life" if you will - as the cutting edge of a chainsaw, and the gravity if its sitation giving it a taste for bloodwood. A metal corner sunk its toothiness into the Tassie plank, and then its memory passed and it became inert again, just leaving a scar on my flooring. The wood bent, but the metal didn't. It's my meditative "OMmmmmmmm" camera, when I sometimes need to go back to simpler, less convenient and less instant things, to get my head back into the right photographic groove. (and it has such a delightfully bright viewfinder!) ...but enough from me about the non-EOS. The OM1 is a "state of mind" thing for me; an exercise that increases the personal "value" of my EOS 10D, which I use by far the majority of the time. For me, personally, they're different but complementary worlds with the same destination.
