I fond my D viewfinder to be of way beter quality than my Z1 viewfinder (which has this anoying distortion if you don't look exactly in the middle). On 2/28/06, Juan Buhler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My standard is the istD/Ds viewfinders though, which are good but > already quite small themselv

The E-1 is as good, the E-300 probably about the same as the DL. I'm a big viewfinder bigot, and I found them as acceptable a subframe viewfinder as I've seen. The E-500 was just too small (unfortunately, as it was otherwise a nicer camera than the E-300) -Adam Juan Buhler wrote: My standard
