Originally posted by johnmflores One of the major criticisms of the K-01 is the lack of an EVF. How much is it worth to you? Here's the cost of some accessory EVFs:
Panasonic $239
Olympus $179 - $235
Sony $349
They Sony is a nice OLED, clearly pushing its price upward. Based on these figures, let's assume that a good quality accessory EVF will cost around $200.
Regarding built-in EVFs, it's harder to figure out how much they add to the price of the camera, but for discussion's sake, let's assume they add 60% of the cost of an accessory EVF. 70% of $200 is $140. Let's also assume that a built-in EVF makes the camera marginally larger than it currently is.
Based on these numbers, would an EVF (accessory or built-in) option on the K-01 change your thought on the camera?
I think more than USD200. Good resolution EVF could cost USD350. USD200 is so-so resolution.
