Of all of those features, I only regularly use the removable finder.
I've replaced the screen. Mirror lockup I've only used once or twice in
the ten months or so since I got the camera (though I use it regularly
on the 67). I use the focus scales on the lenses more than I use DOF preview.
Of course, that's just me, and that's why I totally (and heinously)
forgot about those features when I posted.
It's all a matter of what you need, what you're willing to put up with,
and what you'll spend.
