Sad to say, no red or blue but I can manually focus a lens on the G1 pretty easily in dim light. If I could have done that on the small Olympus or Nikon DSLRs I would have snapped one up just for the optical finder. My in-focus hit rate on the D40x I used to have was about 25% in dim light. On the G1 it's more like 75 or 80%. Regards, Dick off-list comments to r.s.taylor at comcast dot net please. On May 23, 2009, at 6:33 PM, Geoff Hopkinson wrote: > I just saw that announced as well.
