Some do, but it isn't enough to do really accurate focusing.


A bit odd. Is it the latency between adjusting the focus and the
image appearing in the veiwfinder too great?

The resolution of the EVF just isn't enough to get a true feel for the fine
focus; it appears artificially sharp. The other killer is the near lack of
anything resembling an out of focus indication. Things just go slightly
soft, instead of being "really" out of focus, because of the shorter real
focal lengths of the small lens / sensor combinations being used. Sadly,
physics is against us in this endeavor.

Good Lord! An off-topic thread becoming totally on topic! Please take
this to E-mail.

To be fair, this is about a digital camera, using a less than 35mm sized
sensor, so it still isn't really on topic...
