Zig View Experience anyone?

Sometimes K20D gets a bit critics for the Live-View function.

I wonder if anybody can report of the quality of the ZigView S2 Type B fitting the Pentax VF?

I don't have the S2. I bought a Zigview R from a closing Ritz Camera and have only used it a little. It does have some nice features, being able to use it as a wired remote, interval timer, and motion detector. I don't think, however, it works well enough, or conveniently enough to spend the money. It can't really handle motion, and the resolution is pretty bad. I probably wouldn't recommend this as an alternative to anyone now that I have one.

Thank you

I just bought the zigview R too, though I only really want to use it as a tilt screen for ground level still life shots...

Will post experience once it arrives..

To me it seems to have a major advantage over normal swivel screens in that it doesn't relly on liveview and therefore terrible AF performance..
