My second thought was "Wow, I'm glad I didn't have to lug the Leica d700 all the way to new york." I read once that Sante D'Orazio (sp) showed up at Christy Brinkley's house for a photo shoot and they didn't believe he was the photographer because he just had a k-1000 and a 50. Anyway, album cover: Original: http://www.kylecassidy.com/lj/2010/drew-original.jpg After processing to make it look like the 80's: http://www.kylecassidy.com/lj/2010/drew-polaroid.jpg kc I really don't know how many pro jobs have been done or will be done with Micro Four Thirds Design format but I know that tons ahve been done and still will be done with 1.5 crop. And I'm betting as far as serious pro photography goes 2x crop is very nitch. A chip off the old nitch. An M8 or 9 or 6 or 7 are pro cameras worth of the highest work. 4/3's are toys. So it doesn't matter if you cant see the view finder. Anyway the camera is going to get the picture in focus anyway why do you need to see the viewfinder so clearly? Just point it at what you like and take a whole bunch of pictures and look at them later. You'll get one. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
