Recently I brought OptioS. This is my first p&s camera including film & digital and felt really uncomfortable using controls and useless viewfinder.
Manual focus: I feel very uncomfrable using LCD screen during the focussing. AF is not reliable. Controls: To change some of the values, you need to do 3-4 clicks. Ex: To change the metering modes, it needs to do 3 operation. I am used Mz-5n where I do this with single click. Hope *IstD does not have this problem. I never knew there is something called Auto WB. In my camera, WB always stays in DayLight, I need to set it to Fluro.., Incan.. manually. I guess most of the people may be using LCD screen for everything; I do not think viewfinder adds any value. Do we need viewfinder at all? Thanks Ramesh --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I've had one now for 3 days and would like to hear > what others who have it > think.
