Electronic view finder: What is the quality of the EVF?
1223648
I find the EVF viewer to be clear and bright. My brother has an S3 and the viewer is very dark and tough to use in my opinoin.

No it does not have a view finder but the LCD screen seems really reliable so far.

I think it's about the same as any other point-and-click. It's definitely a problem since they did away with view finders.

I have no experience with one other than the built in optical finder. I suppose one of the shoe finders in the 50 to 55mm range made for full frame cameras might give an approximate field of view. I think some are sold under the Voightlander brand name, but watch out for size because some can be large for so small a camera. Sorry I can't be of much help. Don.

NO, this camera doesn't have a physical view finder. I know it is a pain looking at the LCD in the sunlight. Had I known this before, I would have gotten the one with the view finder.The one you are looking for has 32 GB of memory inside it. The one I have has 16 GB and is the middle range Video Camera.

Yes! It's not the worlds best web UI, but it allows you to do some amount of zooming, etc. It also has an API which you can use to integrate in with your own internal monitoring if you have such a beast.

The view finder is built into the optical system of the camera. You can't see it.

Can you post your impression of image quality, movie quality and gps accuracy?I'm very curious on time for gps lock and if you have another source to compare it to for accuracy.

A good quality electronic view finder can be purchased seperately. It slides into the hot shoe.

Yes, it has an optical view finder, which I prefer to framing an image in the LCD screen -- even though the VF shows only about 93% of the area.

Hi Jim To answer your question this camera does not have a view finder. I thought I would never be able to live without a view finder. But what it offers is so much better. It has about a 3 inch square view screen. I have the camera about 3 months now and it takes the best photos and I use it for close up photos that need to show detail. I use it for taking photos of things I sell on ebay. It does a great job. It was easy to use and alot easier to operate than my Sony. More user friendly and I am not a computer person. I take about 150 photos each week and this camera does it very well. One more thing the battery life is great. I must take more than 200 photos on a charge without flash... I hope this helps.... Ben

Here is a very good review of the features you're asking about: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/olympus-epl5/olympus-epl5VIDEO.HTM

No. The G7 also uses an optical viewfinder, not an EVF. It's just like the G6, and the A710IS.

no view finder, AA batteries life is depend on how many pictures with flash and how much review of taken pictures and how much zoom you do with the camera

Your viewfinder is basically a video camera. The grainiest is basically what video look like during low light situations. You're not actually looking thru the lens like an SLR. This is normal. That's why your eyepiece picture looks better outside in the daylight ... more light.

I don't know. I bought it and returned it because I felt the image quality was poor for my needs.

Yes, I bought one and it works fine. It does not show up on the view finder.Bob
