Reason I believe is that it allows it to have 3x more pixels than a colour LCD finder, and allows for bigger and sharper image, almost like a true TTL finder, at least in my experience. Compare it with crappy finders in most normal camcorders which are colour. (Just a note) Good light, Frantisek Vlcek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
