I hope the finder is better than the one on the Nikon Coolscan 5700. It was ok for static shots, but the delay caused it to be unusable for most action shots - push button and get a slightly different image than when you pushed button. Try shooting birds and kids with that !

It was a great camera, I really appreciated the articulated viewfinder for getting shots where I couldn't stick my head - like the underside of instrument panels and other situations where I could position the camera body and move the viewfinder so it could be viewed during image capture.

I assume thats in camera marketing-speak, making it fairly low res (in computer terms) at 800x600 or somesuch in reality?

Or is it really a 1400x1050 res or somesuch?

Approx 1400x1050 pixels resolution, yeah. It's a very sharp and clear viewfinder.
