Flexible Aufstecklösung

The reviewer before me I can not agree unfortunately.
Especially in the compact area, there are almost only cameras with display, because it is without of cost, weight and size reasons on an optical viewfinder. Although the display of the EX-1 is already a good AMOLED display and hence when the sun is already easier to read than most LCD displays, but a small optical viewfinder, which can be plugged on when required, gives the photographer a lot more flexibility.

Harsh glare from sunlight is one thing, the usual camera directly on the eye, the other important argument for an optical viewfinder. Traditional and personalized photography is for many still directly through the viewfinder.

Since it is not a SLR camera but the subject via sensor on the display, there is no way the way through the lens to determine motive to choose in an optical viewfinder - in contrast to the electronic viewfinder.
Of course, and it never did this has always been a so-called parallax shift, so inaccuracies between the viewfinder image and the actually photographed area. In this way and you have to live. After some getting used to but you quickly get the hang of and know what area you photograph and underestimated the benefits of the viewfinder.
