This is an inherent disadvantage of the 4/3 system and little can be done. - E-300's viewfinder is usable, but dimmer than E-500 because of the extra bounce and/or poorly engineered prisms. - E-330's viewfinder is very very dim, but that has little to do with the optical path; it's more because they split half of the light to the useless (IMO) auxiliary CCD. - Panasonic/Leica used the whole viewfinder assembly from E-330, but without the auxiliary CCD, so half of the light is just lost. The reason why did they leave such an obvious design flaw in a $2000 camera escapes me. - All other Olympus cameras (E-1, E-4x0/5x0) have quite bright and clear viewfinders, they're just too small.
