Thanks for the correction. I guess I and friends are drawn to the
SLR-alikes ;-)
I recently went through researching a new walk around / family vacation
dig to replace my 707. All of my "possibles" (Olympus C8080, Nikon
8700, Sony 828, Konica A2) included an EVF, so I thought they were
universal. I finally decided I wasn't going to gain anything but a
larger MasterCard payment and simply kept my 707! I'm not convinced
that anything larger than 5Megapixels in a consumer sized chip gains
you anything but color fringing.
