I love the viewfinder: that wonderful window on my world. Only Leica makes one in a package I like. My complaint with current digital cameras is not the capture nor the controls, it is the viewfinder! Horrible, squinty, blurry, nasty things not even remotely as clear as an M finder. So use the LCD display, I am told. No way! I switched to M cameras because there is nothing between me and the world. I do not want to look at a camera, I want to look at the world! If I didn't mind something in the way I would still have an SLR. Heck, often I just lift up the camera and shoot. I have already set the focus and exposure and I just click the shutter when it is time. I want nothing else to get in my way.
