I was so enamored by the reviews of this camera I couldn't wait to get it. But the reality was such a disappointment I'm returning it to Amazon tomorrow.
If you're accustomed to using an LCD or digital viewfinder for shooting pictures, then you'll probably love this camera. I'm not, and I don't like them one bit. I had no idea optical viewfinders are becoming obsolete. Is this really technological advancement? I took dozens of shots with this camera, but couldn't even see my subject clearly. (Yes, I adjusted the diopter wheel.) All the photos either came out blurry or the subject's head was chopped off. I've been a photographer for many years and have even been published several times. I'm no pro, but I'm not a novice either.
Sadly, the digital viewfinder was a deal-breaker for me. I'll have to pay a re-stocking fee and a fortune in shipping costs, but thankfully I can return it. I learned the hard way. I suppose one star is harsh, but I can't tell you how disappointed I am, just two weeks away from a month-long trip to the Himalayas. Buyers be aware of what you're getting.
