Yeah, I just played with one a friend bought for a trip to London. I'll
get to check out the results, maybe even play with it when he gets back.
Viewfinder not so great, but the LCD is pretty nice and I'm used to
using one of those. When I take off my glasses, my right eye focuses at
about 175mm, with great acuity, so an LCD works well for me.

Hey, Welcome back, Winsor.
There's even been the occasional on topic thread of interest.
Thanks, Moose.
One of the things to get used to on the 5700 is the electronic view
finder. It works, but you don't get that flush of esthetic pleasure
when you look at a really nice shot through it. A little grainy and
low contrast for that. Surprisingly it washes out in bright sunlight
like the one on the outside, but not as bad. I figured out that the
reason it washes out is that your eye is accommodating to the bright
light and that affects the view of the one inside the camera as well
as the one outside. You find yourself cupping your hand around your
eye to block the side light sometimes when taking a picture. After
using one for a while and picking up the OM4T I was shocked at how
clear and pretty the viewfinder was. But the images out of it are great.
