Ya true man... the 2100 EVF seems better than many others. However, the view is that of the camera's "eye", and the constant exposure adjustments when you look through the viewfinder is an eyestrain man! Our eye has to adjust to this electronic "eye", when the real eye is far better in adjusting to a true optical view... still would rather have a proper pure TTL view with the LCD back panel providing the "CCD version".

Its not a good idea , at day with strong daylight ,you can not see easely the LCD ..
Personly i think that the C 2100 is one easy to work with camera .
If we start talking about our personal likes and dislikes , we will never end talking .

no no no... i'm saying keep the LCD as it is but have a proper optical viewfinder instead of the EVF (which is simply a smaller version of the same LCD screen) Its been done with the older C1400 digicam that I've been using and works excellently. Its precisely the weakness of the LCD screen format that it is unusable in a bright-light environment (Casio 2900 and other digicams with LCD-only framing etc).

The EVF is essentially a lower-power consuming LCD screen with a hood... not a true alternative like a TTL optical viewfinder. Rangefinder/compact formats give you the optical flexibility but suffer from parallax error... which we all know is crucial in macro photography.

Meaning a SLR-like viewfinder is it?

ya man! evenl the low-mid range 35mm SLRs have it for ages with a simple LCD panel below/around the optical TTL.. so its not any different... a simple "HUD" style overlay can project the info over a straightforward TTL if they want to squeeze in more info without compromising the view like the EVF-method does...

the top LCD panel (the info mono one) should also have a backlit screen like the beautiful blue one on my old EOS620 (1987 era!) for night work... like handphone...everytime i activated the cool-blue light I got a "kick" :D

yah, go get one and join us.......:D
 

just bought the +4 close up filter ($15, Hoyi) at CP. and yes, like what u said, there was only slight improvement. e guy there told me i can actually attach close up filters on top of each other to get +N results. is that true (say put 2 +4's together and u will get +8)?

will there be a limit to how many close up filters i can attach together?

i dun think i can achieve e closeness i want with one +4 filter...

after fitting the +4 filter, what is the macro range like at full tele and wide? Me also thinking of getting a +4 filter. But if not much improvement, then no point. Still have other more important accessories to buy.
