HI John,
To each his own, I just find the absence of an optical viewfinder very
limiting. I do agree that some of the MFT lenses, especially the 1.7/20mm, are
truly excellent.
I have shopped at Adorama several times, both in the pre-internet era (i.e. by
phone) and more recently, and generally they have been OK.
Cheers,
Nathan
