Re: MZ50 (or maybe 60) vs MZ5n viewfinder

[Peter J. Alling]

The MX viewfinder is great, and you can change the screen if you don't 
like the one it's fitted with.  On the
other hand you'll have so many more accessories to buy...

I hope you don't mean that.. The way it's phrased makes it sound like the MX
would spoil photography for me :)
 

Consider what your mythical newbie would be comparing the viewfinder too?
   

Then
 

you may want rethink your scenario.
   

And about comparing the viewfinder to say a point and shoot, the mz50's
viewfinder wasn't too much better. The sample I got to play with had black
specks thru the viewfinder too. I know it doesn't affect the image, but is
it cleanable?
Cheers,
Ryan

GRIN!
You do not want to compare that 5n's viewfinder to a clean MX's. You would
immediately sell the camera, and never take another photo for the rest of
   

your life.

Anyway, I just had the horrible thought that maybe some newbie slightly
interested in photography might pick up a relatively cheap body like a
     

50,
 

and because of the less than satisfactory viewfinder, not get as into
photography as he/she could have been otherwise.
