It's like a mini ground glass (only right way up). The screen > gives you a different image than the viewfinder - two dimensional rather > than three.

Oh, and another issue...that makes this "unbelievable" for me, is Digital SLRs don't show the scene that is in the viewfinder in the LCD, they only show the last shot, or some other shot...but not the realtime scene. Only cameras that use Interline sensors, and therefore have separate viewfinder optics can show the scene in real time. This means the camera he is mentioning uses an interline sensor, and the viewfinder is in fact NOT the same as the LCD display. I don't know how good the display is in this camera, but I know the optical displays on the interline sensor cameras I have is weak at best.
