VF-2 Electronic Viewfinder tested
Finally someone reviewd the new VF-2 EVF for the Olympus E-P2! TheDigitalstory was able to test the EVF. It seems to be very useful in bright light situation.
P.S.: I would always rotate it upward as far as 90 degrees to use it like I use my old Rolleiflex 
- The E-P2 is available for preorder at Amazon US

(Well, I suppose you could do it by standing at right-angles to your subject and holding the camera out to the side! But who wants to do that?!?)
This wasn’t a problem with the Rolleiflex, of course, because its format was square.

Anyway, I was wondering if this EVF would make the E-P2 good for shooting sports? I’m looking for a one-in-all family camera that can do video as well.
