The X10 OVF...
The problem with the OVF in the X10 is that it is just a telescoping OVF. It's good that that it zooms when you zoom the lens but there are no frame lines to accurately show what will be captured.. what you see is not quite what you get.. the parallax, when shooting subjects close to the camera, is an issue.
I really hoped the OVF in the X10 would work for me but I do find myself using the LCD 99% of the time. I only use the OVF when the sunlight washes out the LCD.... that said, it's a lot better than any other OVF I have seen on a compact camera.. the OVF on my G9 was a total joke.
