Question? Is there a photo shop near you in Tennessee? That is another fact of photography that has also changed in the last 15 years. Most small to medium sized cities no longer have camera stores. You might find one in Memphis or perhaps Nashville. If it is like where I live (200,000+ population), there are none. Use the OM10 and forget the P&S. You will have a fine camera and great lenses and if it needs servicing, which it may not, there are, I am sure, places you can send it. Developing and printing B&W film has not really changed since your school days so forget scanning. Darkroom printing is not that difficult and as mentioned earlier, can be learned from a book. You have access to a good camera, fine lenses and it just isn't that difficult to make fine photographs with that rig..........Don't let your imagination overule your common sense.........Regards!My wife just pulled out the OM-10 and it’s in great shape. She’s the second owner and it hasn’t seen too much use. Just gotta take it to a shop and have it thoroughly cleaned and fixed if anything is wrong with it. Probably just gonna go with it. It has the manual control apparatus that you can attach already on it. Has the flash, a filter, original lense, and a longer one as well. Will probably make a great camera once I get it looked at and learn it.
