I'd rather an EVF, which are much nicer to work with than APS-C OVF's for anything except shooting action. Note that Sony's got a couple EVF-equipped DSLR's about to be released (they use a pellix mirror to feed the phase detect AF system but otherwise use LV), I'm quite interested, a sub-$1000 DSLR that manual focuses as easily as a Panasonic G1 is a must-have to me. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
