I suppose it depends what work he does. The O Series is tricky to use, but
by no means impossible, it only took me about half a film to get reasonably
comfortable with it. 

The 'lens cap on between every shot' rule becomes a habit very quickly, and
the limitation on changing shutter speeds simply isn't a problem in normal
use. The viewfinder does take some getting used to, but it adds to the
charm.
