I have it. It works. I don't have any point of comparison to other EVFs. It is not the same as an optical viewer in that the picture sometimes breaks up briefly when rapidly changing POV. But 'tis a whole lot better than arms-length composition via the LCD. Main downside is that it does not "click" into place. Not that it is loose or anything, but I don't feel comfortable leaving it mounted while carrying the camera on a shoulder strap - it seems that it would be fairly easy to have something bump into it and knock it loose. I have thought of duct tape as an option.
