[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 779063, member: 50197"] After using the camera for a week, I don't find the viewfinder an issue. Yes, it is grainy and poor quality in very low light conditions. In decent light, I find that I don't even think about the viewfinder after having used the camera a short while. With the 24-70 F4 I bought with it, the autofocus is quick and silent. Just watch out for the feature where you can change the auto focus area by touching the rear screen. I have inadvertently switched auto focus point with my nose when putting the camera up to my eye. You can quickly turn this feature off if desired. Right now the biggest downside is the unavailability of reasonably priced telephoto lenses. I would love to have the 100-400 they just came out with, but at almost $3K, it's a little rich for my blood. Heck, I've never spent that much on a car for me. Yes, I've spent much more on family vehicles. My planned solution is the FTZ and perhaps the 70-300 F4.5-5.6E. I have the FTZ arriving today, and my daughter has the 70-300, so I can try it out before buying one. She really like the lens on her crop frame. It provides much better resolution than the DX kit lens it replaced. [/QUOTE]
