Not an optical viewfinder with the same geeks call an OVF I think. If you were in a filled elevator and you said the EVF was busted on your camrea how many people on it would have a clue in hell what you were talking about? My guess would be one. The guy with the camera doing the talking. The elevator operator might make a stab at it and say it was the Embedded Vector Format and "would you make an emergency stop on the 5th and a half floor?" If you said your monitor was on the blink everyone would know what you were talking about. And that includes on the bus or the Lobby of B&H. Kids and Grandmas. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
