Cotty, That's not an expectation ... that's a desire. You knew the size and viewfinder before you bought it. Expectations should be things that you expected the camera to do, in features or performance, based on what you knew of it from reading the specs and talking to other people, not things that you want but weren't known not to be available. EG: I want a Nikon F3/Thp quality viewfinder in every camera, but I don't hold that as an expectation for every camera I buy. I'd spend my life awfully disappointed if I did.
