Camera Models
Olympus produced a wide variety of OM camera models over the years. These were divided into two distinct series. Cameras with single-digit model numbers were the professional series, optimized for features and ruggedness rather than ease of use. Two-digit (or more) model numbers, or letters, meant a consumer camera designed for ease of use.
All the consumer-grade models were discontinued after 1992, since the market for manual focus cameras in this segment had dried up. The consumer-grade line returned in 1997 with the Cosina-sourced OM-2000 model. Professional and advanced amateur demand for the high-end models continued, and they were produced until 2002 along with the consumer-grade OM-2000.

Famous quotes containing the words camera and/or models:
“The camera can represent flesh so superbly that, if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
