I have said repeatedly that the viewfinder sucks; but I've also found that having interchangable, high quality lenses and the live view LCD finder offers a whole new way of shooting; 2. I'd argue that the body is not flimsy and plasticy, but that the kit lenses are; put one of the good lenses on it and it would feel very different; 3. While you may not need a reminder that we're at the end of an era, certainly some one does if there are still people expressing surprise that a film system they've just bought into is now disappearing; 4. You can use the 330 LCD completely information free; 5. Finally, see if Walt has a spare one of those chill pills he often offer me. :-) ___ Sent with SnapperMail www.snappermail.com .....
