Re: Not me

In bright light, sure it is hard to see the screen but usually some shading with a hat and some educated guesswork the results turn out OK. I would much rather see the wider scene "live" as opposed to viewing a small section of the world through an eyepiece.

When I purchased my E-P5, I thought that it would be a good idea to get an optional EVF and purchased the VF-4. It has never been convenient for me to use a view finder even though that was the only option for decades with film cameras. I was surprised (shocked is probably a better description) at the quality of the view through the VF-4. It is easily the best EVF I have used. I like the swivel capability that makes it easier for me to use it without squishing my face against the back of the camera.

Although most of the time I use the LCD, I like having the VF-4 in my bag in case it is needed. If someone had asked me prior to my purchase whether I would have preferred an integrated EVF, my answer would have been yes. Now, I much prefer the optional attachment, which I can ignore until I need it (which isn't very often).
