You do, when the sun shines . . . ! I wont have a camera without a viewfinder or a 'fully' animated screen. I use my G1 most of the time with the screen out and cradled at waist hight, large format camera style, very satisfying, very stable and I believe, a superior angle to take a lot of pictures from? However, although shading the screen can help, there are times when one has to resort to the EVF, which, fortunatly is quite good effort on a G1.
The above waist hight view and shielding is often near imposible with fixed screen cameras, and of course there are so many that have eleminated the EVF and the animated screen. A mistake in the name of cost and/or producing a decent EVF, the animation mechanisam saves only a few 'mm' on size but gives away a whole load of practicality and handling advantage?
Since when did the 'arms out front' become a stable way to take a picture?
My humble opinion of course, grumpy head on . . .
