Do you ever use it?

How much do you use it if you do?

I use it (and upgraded from the EP1) primarily when using manual focus (either by choice or because I am using a lens that does not AF on the EP2).
I currently only have one "legacy" regular lens - a wonderful Olympus 50mm 1.8 - but am hoping to pickup a mid-range telephoto (something like the Oly 100mm 2.

.
But I also have the Lensbaby Composer with several of their new Optics and those are MUCH easier to focus with the EVF than the screen.

I JUST got my EP2 yesterday. Loving every second of it as it's my first cam ever. I mess with the EVF a bit. But also like using the LCD. I find that in lower light the evf refresh rate is a bit slow especially using art filters.

So i'm questioning which is the better purchase. Keeping the EP2 or returning it, and getting the EP1 and using the savings for a lens. Comments? Ideas?

I buy E-P2 cause of this function........

So i can get sharp and clear image during manual lens usage......

Have you got a chance to test it out yet?

pkloo · « **Reply #7 on:** January 04, 2010, 07:03:39 AM »

Yes...The EVF look great....The response of the EVF during focusing is fast. It bright too..

Low light is better that also....

i just bought a ep2, and i had a question about the vf-2....

when using the vf2, is there a way to set the camera to have the 3second review of the photo on the main LCD after a shutter release?

or is that a dream? just find myself looking at the lcd after each shot like a regular dslr...

I got my E-P2 for Christmas. I find that am using the EVF almost exclusively. It is almost the same feeling as using an SLR. The main advantage is that I don't have to fuss around with my reading glasses.

It's not included as a feature set in E-P1 / E-P2.
You are right that it's more rational to work that way.
Olympus should consider adding this feature in the update fix.

cool. thanks for the note. I've been sorting through all the menus/buttons and figure it out.
