I must disagree with this Bob, it sure is better than having quick out of 
focus shots, that still require vague mechanical focussing and perfect 
mechanical camera/rangefinder  adjustment, even though camera action is 
faster.

 Fortunately I adore the rangefinder aspect, as I always have. The live view 
is a very nice added feature, but not for "decisive moment" images for me... 
And it doubles the shutter actuation count...
