Nikon's clued in as well, the D80 got the D200's excellent Viewfinder, and the 20D/30D aren't bad, while the Sony is decent, but not as good as a DS or D (Slightly worse than the DL/K1x0D). But Canon and Olympus have not clued in and continue to sell cameras with crap viewfinders. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
