I'm somewhat hopeful about this. The traditional digital market (How's that, huh) of PS and DSLRs is being eroded in two ways: cellphones will increasingly replace the PS and mirrorless will cut into the DSLRs. Ricoh and Pentax could make a pretty good mirrorless body with Pentax optics. --

This question is just too subjective. I'm happy with the Olympus VF-2, but it's still different from an optical finder. Evidently, the hybrid in the X100 won't easily adapt to interchangeable lenses. For me, the smaller size is worth the use of EVF. -Original Message- From: Jack Davis
