Good unless you need a accurate OVF... MawMaw101562, SC Rating 12/27/2011
I really do like this camera. It takes pictures quickly without missing the shot you want if you hold down the button halfway and wait on the shot you want. I also LOVE the moving Display. However, I am disappointed in the OVF Optical View Finder. I need this for taking pictures at my husbands concerts, etc instead of using the display and I discovered that what I am seeing through the OVF is not what ends up in the picture. For that reason, only, I am returning the camera.
