Actually Richard was right. I was refering to the larger mirror and prism. I also can't see much on those LCDs I prefer to look through the lens,but I already have bad eyes and the smaller darker viewfinders are a pain for me to work with in low light. There are going to be sometimes when I will miss the articulated viewfinder on my G5 like candids, low and high angles, and shooting over crowds. But years ago I used to shoot from the hip and I'm sure I can pick it back up again:}
