The Oly E-10 DSLRs use a light splitting prism, they don't have a physical shutter, the finder is pretty dim and the effective ISO is only 80-320 and I learned very quickly what the eyepiece shutter was for. I made some over head shots in a crowd with the sun being collected by the finder and all the images had a hideous green tinged flare in them.
