I don't like the EVF at all though it does have the benefit for me of not needing a spectacles change to review the images. It feels like a camera for a change, I like the controls being in the normal places and the results are excellent! Still, I am not fond of zoom lenses and they preclude a nice optical finder, so I guess I have to wait a bit longer for a digital camera I really like. I already prefer digital to film, just not the cameras. Frank On 11 Apr 2004, at 08:14, Nathan Wajsman wrote: > Thanks for the link, Adam.
