Like other sites, this site should display what was updated, perhaps with a page called "Updates" in the review.

mikewhalen5: Without a viewfinder, my interest level is zero.

Wait for the review. Perhaps the brightness on the screen overcomes the bright light (unlikely in direct sun, but should be useable in bright areas outside of direct sunlight).

kodachromeguy: "There's neither a built-in viewfinder, nor connector for an external unit - composition is solely using the camera's rear screen." This is an oddly expensive camera to be aimed at the hold-in-one-hand-while-they-point-and-shoot crowd. $799 without the lens adapter? I personally will never buy another camera without a viewfinder of some sort.

The $799 is justified because this allows you to use all your existing Canon lenses with this camera. No other miniature camera allows this. It would be nice to have the adapter included though, or at least very cheap.

If you want a viewfinder, use an SLR. This would be uncomfortable to use up to your face because it is so small.

thisisjh: I need viewfinder viewfinder viewfinder....

This camera is not intended for those kinds of scenes, much like you don't buy an SLR to take pics of license plates after car accidents... Leave that to cell phones.
