Zigview adds LCD finder to film and digital SLRs

zigview

Here's one for SLR users (both film and digital) who want to use an LCD to frame their shots. The Zigview is an adapter that includes both a CMOS sensor and a 1.9-inch LCD; it attaches to the camera's viewfinder and can rotate for high and low-angle shooting. Nothing in the specs about how much image coverage you get or how sharp the display is; it also blocks the viewfinder, so switching back and forth between the Zigview and the finder could get tedious. Still, it's still an intriguing idea, and could be worth the £119.99 price if it really works as advertised.
