In mine, everything in the viewfinder was dead including the focus confirmation. The focus confirmation beeped though. Guess I just got a dude body. With electronics, if something is going to fail it usually occurs in the first 100 hours of use. I hope my new body will make it though the break-in period.
I wish you're right and that I can actually turn off the viewfinder info using (info) button.... but I don't think it's true. Why would I want this? When I know that my exposure setting is already correct, I dont want to look at it, I just want to focus on picture taking.
Anyway best of luck with the new camera
