Thanks for that JK, one of the principle things I want to know is whether the viewfinder does magnify the image if required and if it does, how is it actuated. This would be the first thing I would check out if or when I get my mitts on one.
I realise the rear screen magnifies but I have heard mentioned 'in passing' about viewfinder magnification. I have looked in the user manual but can't find reference to it.
The LUMIX has a function that magnifies an area round the focus point. Personally I think it's a waste because it just zooms in on the sensor image and as a consequence the inherant relative coa**eness of the viewscreen is merely amplified rendering the enlarged area...less clear!
