But I have. This was the "issue" I took with your first response, in bold:
Originally posted by nosnoop Nowadays, an LED light can be seriously bright; actually it can be too bright, so they probably won't use the brightest one available.
Sitting here with a just-repaired Sony P&S from 2005, the AF lamp is clear, first. Second, I just did an informal test across my kitchen into the dark hallway about 30-35ft away. A P&S is easy to focus because of the sensor size and relative aperture blah blah...I'm wondering how well it would do with something like a f/1.4 lens from this distance.

Originally posted by Art Vandelay II That's what I had my hopes on. The VF doesn't have to be as big and bright as a Sony A900, but in the ballpark would be nice. As I've said in the past, if Olympus can overcome the size limitations of the 4/3's sensor and make the E-3 view finder look better than most APS-C view finders I've seen, then Pentax should be able to take Olympus' idea and use it on an APS-C camera.
Unfortunately, it seems like people care more about live view and video then they do about using nice view finders these days. As much as it makes me want to throw up a little inside I know Pentax is better off spending development dollars on video instead of a better view finder if they want to sale more cameras.
Well...you're one person with one specific demand. Either like it...or don't. Better yet...the newly created "K-7 Disappointment" thread would be a good place for you to go play in

Kinda looks like a reflection...I don't see a metal look. There also has to be a weather seal on the door somewhere. The body material has the exact same "specks" on it as the K10/20...nice
