Also "Optical Viewfinder 0.5X magnification with approx. 90% frame
coverage".
Perhaps running the optical view through the prism/combiner has significant
light loss ...
With an APS-C sized image at 0.5x magnification the apparent viewing
distance is likely very short. The camera is gorgeous, Fuji has made some
great lenses, but there may be some unacceptable tradeoffs.

Actually, I don't understand that bit of the copy at all. It says
that the evf, like the ovf, is parallax corrected for the focal
distance. If it's a live view, taken from the imaging sensor, then
there should be no need for parallax correction, surely? Also, the
illustration shows an lcd panel for display information, but doesn't
say anything about it being a live view screen. There doesn't seem to
be any mention or illustration of a method of blocking out the optical
view when using the electronic viewfinder either.
