$1000 for the body, no viewfinder, of any kind. And no excuse for not
having a viewfinder because the camera does not lack for space. To me
(especially given the poor resolution performance of the latest 12 meg
Olympus cameras) there is no reason to buy it over the G1 or GH1
Panasonic. Apart from the movie mode, I can't see this as being
anything other than a Sigma DP with interchangeable lenses. And the
crappy silver-coloured plastic kit lens just looks cheap. At least
the expensive Pentax "Limited" primes are METAL bodied.

Rich: the whole point of micro 4/3 was to get rid of the VF and mirror.
There is no room between the sensor and the lens for a mirror. Do
some research before you barf all over the place and embarrass yourself
(again).

That's what simple optical viewfinders or EVFs are for, brain trust.

But most OVF on small P&S cameras are pretty useless (and that's being
polite).

And most EVFs are bloody awful.

You are so obtuse as to nearly be a flatline.

Or is that your brain activity?

Do you understand Oly's strategy at all?
