This seems to be hitting a strange market price point...over $600US for a camera with no viewfinder turns me away instantly. Yet, the idea of a small yet powerful "rangefinder" type camera is appealing.  (Of course, the rangefinder part is some form of electronic focus. )

The ability of film cameras of this sort I have used in the past is compact size and quickness to take photo almost silently, no mirror click.And, those were quite nice to take around.  Yet, I must have a viewfinder, then go up another $200 for that. Is it worth it? I doubt it and I do not have spare cash to play with this concept.

Electronic viewfinder does away with the parallax problem of the film models.  I will keep an eye out for what goes on with these cams from the various makers.
