The viewfinder problem does concern me all right. One thing I dislike about
my Epic 2.8 P&S is the tiny viewfinder. My wife basically refuses to use it
because of that, and so uses a 35RC instead.
Not having a real focusing ring also concerns me, and again, using autofocus
only, if like the Epic, results in some out-of-focus pictures.
On the other side, the things I like about it over the E-10:
-5 MP versus 4 MP (I'll likely sell my 6x6, for the very few big
enlargements that I do)
-Smaller, a big, big plus for me... the old advice, a camera with you is
worth....etc., almost considering the coming metal Olympus Stylus 4 MP
because of this. When I add digital, I don't want to leave the OM at home.
-new, and later technology, (XD card for example), a big plus in digital
wonderbricks imo. They get old fast.
-tilting screen (almost considering the G3 because of this).
