I'm not a sports shooter, never will be, and don't have 
children/grandchildren, so I won't be shooting fast moving subjects anytime 
soon, but I find the EVF on the Nikon to be a delight. Oh, all right, it's 
not the finder on my FF Nikons, but it's better by far than any finder on 
any reduced frame slr, with no smear or jumping, and it absolutely beats 
shooting using the chimp-screen.

That's tempting. I'm not sure about the EVF, though, and yesterday I was out 
riding and took a couple of shots with Esteemed Wife's Coolpix, and jus flat 
couldn't see what I was doing on the LCD. Too much light. Fortunately, the 
camera knew what I was trying to do and did an acceptable job for the shot I 
was trying to take.

The V1 bears more looking into.
