Yeah but...the electronic finder is very good. It's the same pixel
count as my EP-2 plug in finder (1.4 million) but seems larger. You
don't have the tunnel effect and they can overlay information on the
view if you want. Because the shutter is fast and quiet, they've done
some clever stuff with bracketting - there's a noise reduction mode
that rips off 3-4 shots and blends them to reduce noise. I even works
with moving subjects. I had it enabled all the time for indoor shots
as I found that 1600 iso with it looked like 400 iso without. DPReview
hardly mentioned it but it's important.
Only problem I had was the 'writing' blackout after a burst, even in
10x continuous mode. A bit annoying. I'd like to be able to send image
review to the LCD only and not interrupt the finder image with it but
I couldn't work that.
