That's the problem, isn't it? I have yet to use a "high quality" EVF that's better than most 25 year old pentaprisms. Canon's Digital Rebel seems to have successfully convinced all the other manufacturers that they can sell a complete piece of shit to anyone with six hundred dollars. Unfortunately, this means that those of us who can't, or don't want to, buy the top-of-the-line are going to be stuck with a progressively bigger pile of crap that tries, and fails, to emulate what the big boys are using. "Keep it simple, stupid" is falling on deaf ears these days. -- Scott Loveless Cigarette-free since December 14th, 2008 http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
