Well, I've used all three recently: LCD screen, OVF (K-5 and Nikon P7100), and EVF (Fuji X-S1). I overall prefer the K-5 OVF; the P7100's OVF is useless for anything other than a backup in bright light. But a screen, particularly a tilting or articulated screen, makes certain shots a lot easier; a current-generation EVF is better than the P7100's OVF. If the K-5 had a better live view screen, I'd probably use it a bit more than I did on our cruise, but really, viewfinders have better shooting ergonomics. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- 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.
