I had the P50 which had slightly brighter and sharper viewfinder than the
Super A/Program and MX. The rectangular micro-prisms on the focusing screen
is particular useful. However, unlike the other two, P50 & P30 series have
fixed screens which would trap dust (no way to blow them out yourself). The
screens on P30 series are different so I am not sure how they compared to
P50.

I suggest you look for an used Super A/Program instead. The push buttons are
a bit slow to get used to, but as a whole, the Super A/Program is a much
better model. The screen is a bit dark though.
