Is it a norm features for cameras?

Not to mention the old film slrs, my 1st digital camera, Panasonic LC5, a 2001 4Mp compact, using ovf has such adjuster. My first evf compact, Panasonic FZ5, a 5Mp superzoom fixed lens camera of 2005, also has it.

The major or only difference could be how powerful they would be.

Just remembered something else to consider when wearing glasses. My E-M5 III has a 27mm (extended) "eye point" (how far away your eye must be from the viewfinder to see it entirely). DPR says the "...EVF has a long eye point for glasses wearers".

I don't know what the eye point is for other cameras except the E-M5 II which is 21mm but it might be something to consider before purchasing a camera.
