Dang I was just assuming it had an optical finder because of the pellice mirror. A lot of camera companies seem set on the EVF lately, they seem to think the mirror is on it's way out. The SLR mirror does have some big disadvantages- it's expensive, mechnical, and it makes wide angle lenses harder to produce since it forces them to be "retrofocus" design. Also you can't do video with the mirror in the way etc etc.. hard to get used to those EVFs though.
