Hi Frank,
To be honest, with a good EVF (and the Fuji EVFs, like the one in the
X100 - and this one may be better - are pretty darn good) who really
needs an optical viewfinder? Must be a very "fringe" feature to make
old camera enthusiasts like us happy. If this was a film rangefinder,
an optical viewfinder would be of paramount importance. But as an EVF
camera, it's really fine in my opinion.
I can't wait to handle one of these in a shop, once they do come out.
regards,
Dawid
