It kind of worked, but like you, I find an electronic viewfinder useless. I think the gold standard for viewfinders in modern cameras is the hybrid one in the Fuji X100 and X1Pro. Another thing I do not like about the Sony is that it uses Memory Stick. I need another card format like I need a hole in the head. I must admit I was briefly tempted by the Sony as a cycling camera, but after a bit of research the temptation is gone.
