Put in *something*. There's a live screen on the back of the body. Their marketing research people most likely consider that adequate for the targeted owners/users for the camera. This is not a "serious" camera, it's an interchangeable lens point- and-wave. Leicaphiles and other serious shooters are not anywhere CLOSE to the target market for this toy, and in the best of all worlds there are not enough of us to make a significant difference in the financial viability of the model. The camera wasn't designed for what we want, and there's no point in b*tching because it doesn't DO what we'd like. The only question that remains is whether there is a large enough body of users, actual or potential, to make the camera an economic success. -- R.
