In another thread I described the EVF as "crap", but it is none the less usable. I have an evf on my Olympus OMD-EM5 that is superb, so the Sigma evf seems inferior by comparison. But if you turn on focus peaking, the evf is very effective. There is a big difference in the display quality for image review, being a good match for the quality of the lcd monitor. It just looks grainy and oversharpened when composing. Don't let that deter you! While not as clear as an OVF, the EVF does have some advantages.

Yeah, I had the Olympus as well and did not like it, even with the nice Leica 50 mm on it:-)

I gues what I did not like on the Oly is too much fidling around on the buttons. I want it simple. I'll choose my aperture manually and usually my speed also. I loved my Contax ND and the Sigma SD10 for that. But to be honest, my eys are becoming worse and I need a good view with glasses on on my camera. Oh, well, I think I will give it a try! For this price, it is almost an offer I cannot refuse...

Thanks all for the honest answers till now!
