Some people who prefer the EVF for shooting and download their photos to their laptop or home computer the same day might not feel they need such a large LCD. Also, I think one or two people on this forum mentioned that they preferred the extra thumb space on the H2.

I'm glad that the larger screen actually allows you to see the photos before they are taken...
Sadly, I only get to REVIEW mine after the fact - I guess that's what I get for going cheap.

Cheers, and buy the camera that suits you.

WHAT IF THERE WERE NO HYPOTHETICAL SITUATIONS?

It's nice thing to have but I really don't need them since it is my walk around pocket camera ( It's rather large but still fits in my pants pocket )
It's true that I only use EVF since I'm a SLR shooter. Never really like to shoot via LCD screen.
I don't really need to view while I shoot since the IS really helps here.
As long as the preview looks good in general, I don't really need zoom in and see the larger view.

Ah hell, I usually have my H5 set on burst and blast away because I shoot a lot of moving dogs. Hard little critters to catch standing still.
I like the large LCD but hate the fact that I don't have any place except for the zoom controls for my fingers. That little spot they give ya next to the screen is OK if you can get your finger to land there. Mine usually don't.
Minor stuff. and I like reviewing what I shot so I can see what I need to shoot. Big plus for the big screen.
Different strokes for different folks.
I expect to receive my R1 today, it has a much smaller and less clear, display, but the only thing I REALLY need it for is to see what the heck I'm shooting. I depend on autofocus and autoexposure to do the real work for me. Since dogs are built real low to the ground I need the swivel feature that allows the R1 to work like those old 2 1/4 cameras of days gone by.
Have you ever tried to go eyeball to eyeball with a toy poodle using your SLR or H5?
Didn't think so.
Anyway, the way I see it the camera makers put these different features into different cameras so you have to buy two of them.
'Course the SLR makers are really criminals because there never seems to be an end to the number of lenses you absolutely have to have.
Then you still have to crawl around like a snake if you want to shoot toddlers and toy poodles.
It's all in what you do and what you think you need.
If I had a H2 I would find it awful difficult to talk myself into spending the money for an H5.
But then the last camera I bought after the R1 and H5 was a Nikon 950 and that was about six years ago when 3.5 megapixels was HUGE.
So it goes, every year it seems these criminal camera makers try to give me a reason to spend my money on a new camera.

Yes it maybe nice Alex to have the 3" LCD but it simply came down to what I could I afford in the end.
Here in Australia the price difference between the H2 & H5 is around $250-$300.
I need to save every penny I can for my August trip the US and I knew the end result of the H2 would still be superb and so it was a fairly easy choice for me.
