I'm not sure why so many people foster such negative feelings about the 
Evolt. Personally, I like the Evolt concept more than the E-1. It's a 
clever design that's more compact for one thing. The other is that the 
obvious Pen comparison makes me think of the 4/3 sensor as a half-frame 
sensor and in that context it makes a certain sense to me. Thinking of 
the Evolt as a half-frame digital makes it a nice counterpart to the 
full-frame models by K*dak and Can*n. Build quality seemed fine to me 
in the limited time I spent with one last week and the viewfinder 
seemed fine, as well. Of course, I'm used to dealing with Super-8 and 
16mm viewfinders, so a viewfinder that bright and large is luxurious to 
me.
