Is it any good? It has no bulb mode and for longer exposures and I need that. Otherewise it's an awesome camera. I am thinking of the Oly 500 instead because of bulb and some of my old 4040 stuff will work on it. I won't use it for much professional work - I have an SLR and DSLR for that - it's for reviews in a publication I need the camera for.

Also, it says it has mechanical shutter and auto shutter but doen't explain the difference. Can anyone help?
