Hi Shel,
Our paths are similar. The LX was the most contemporary camera I had
used prior to purchasing an *istD. I found the viewfinder information a
bit disconcerting at first, particularly the flash indicator that you
mentioned. However, after using the camera for awhile I forgot that it
was even there. On the other hand, I came to depend on other into in
the viewfinder. With the finger accessible wheels, it's easy to change
the ap and shutter without looking up. Ditto, the exposure
compensation. I think it's all about becoming accustomed to a new
environment. A year from now, you won't even know that there's a flash
indicator in the display. You'll blank out the info you don't need.

Hi Bill ...
I suppose there's some truth to that. Since I've come to this camera
directly from cameras that have little or nothing in the finder, this
is
probably a bigger deal for me than for those who have transitioned to
the
newest cameras through models like the PZ-1p, ZX-5n, and other cameras
with
many functions and features. As I may have mentioned before, the LX
is the
newest camera I had until now - and y'know, all the information in
the LX
finder sometimes confuses and annoys me. I'm used to the empty Leica,
K-series, and MX finders.
