- The E-3's viewfinder has 100% coverage. - It is a Four-Thirds system camera. - While it has the best magnification of any Four-Thirds camera, it still trails behind many other offerings by other companies. That magnification figure they give? *That* has to be adjusted (not coverage) for sensor size, because the manufacturers try to pull some bullshit and measure with a 50mm no matter how small the field of view on it is. Divide that figure by half.
When you do adjust, the E-3 has a .575x magnification, better than entry-level cameras and, surprisingly, the Nikon D2 cameras, which have .573. Which is respectable, but still small. I was a bit hyperbolic for rhetorical purposes- I was trying to illustrate the difference between coverage and magnification- but I don't see anything wrong with that. Anyone deriving their opinion on the worth of a camera solely from one line in an unrelated post by an anonymous poster on a message board deserves to take rhetorical devices seriously, as do people who overreact to stuff said about their wife and kids, er, I mean, camera system.
I don't hate on Four-Thirds; I've defended them on here in the past as perfectly suitable if someone doesn't prefer manual focus and so doesn't need a higher magnification. That and a lack of primes are the only real flaws of the system. Otherwise, it's the equal of Canikon offerings.
And I really love how pointing out a flaw or making one even slightly derogatory comment about one aspect of something means I hate it and everything associated with it.
