So the E-P1 is touted as compact in size and less obstrusive to use. But without a 'proper' viewfinder, having to hold the camera at arms length will make the photographer more obvious that less obvious.
True or not?

Re: The size of the E-P1
I completely understand what you're saying, but paradoxically I believe this is not true. You won't stand out as a "serious" photographer, you'll just blend in with all the other tourists taking meaningless snaps! Just think, if only Oly could find a way to fit a MFT sensor into a mobile phone!Originally posted by benvendetta View Post

Re: The size of the E-P1
I'm very short sighted and when using a compact I simply peer over my glasses. I find the screen looks very sharp and clear when held about five inches from my eyes. It's almost like using a viewfinder!

Re: The size of the E-P1
Well at least I could wear my glasses all the time rather then when I just want to review my images!
Zuiko, I see where you are coming from about blending in with the P & S brigade, but this would fall rather flat when using the E-P1 with one of the meatier ZD lenses!

Re: The size of the E-P1
Hi Dave,Originally posted by benvendetta View Post
I guess Micro Four Thirds means all thing to all people - I handn't considered using the E-P1 with long lenses. To me, it's a camera for small primes and compact zooms of modest focal range. To be honest, I think a small camera like the E-P1 with, say, a 50-200mm attached would look so unusual that it would be bound to attract attention - probably more so than if it was attached to an E3!
