So I've had my EE-1 for a while. The biggest issue is that the hot shoe isn't the most mechanically stable interface, so I've had to sight it in with the assumption that the sight is always pushed as far right as possible in the shoe. This ensures I get consistent windage while minimizing the need to adjust it. Elevation doesn't need to be changed all that often, but parallax still needs to be accounted for.
In any case, it's a useful tool. The red dot sight definitely makes it easier to locate birds from afar and hence more quickly and accurately aim the camera.

EE-1 Dot Sight | Olympus
Basically, this is a shoe-mounted red dot sight, based on the design used on the Olympus Stylus SP-100 superzoom compact. Although designed for use with the Olympus OM-D cameras and the Stylus 1, there is no communication with the camera body and the accessory may be used with any camera with a standard accessory shoe.
I did spend a bit of time with the SP-100 at B&H a while back and I find that it's pretty neat. Considering that the hot shoe is unused most of the time on my camera, this might be useful especially with my DA* 60-250.
What are your thoughts? Is it worth the $130 price? B&H has it in stock.
