OK, so neither Godfrey nor Bill was impressed with the X100. That's money back in the homeless lens jar.
I'm OK with electronic viewfinders and LCDs. This is not a philosophical position, since I actually use both and I'm fine with them. If micro43 is on the horizon for anyone, EVFs are more important for Micro43 bodies just because they are so good at using legacy glass that you really need to be able to MF. My old m42 Super Tak 55 is a great lens on micro43 but I need to use the E-PL1 and not the E-P1 because I can only use the clip-on EVF with the former.
