As much as I like grid screens, I hope Pentax will *never* come up
   with an LCD superimposed over the viewfinder. The whole point with
   a SLR as opposed to whatever other camera design is the TTL,
   optical viewfinder, which needs to be as bright as possible, with
   as much magnification as possible. Enough compromises have been
   made for AF and high eye-point. I won't trade more light to get
   highlighting focus sensors, grid lines and whatever distracting
   gizmos. If I need grid, I'd rather get through the hassle of
   replacing the focus screen with a grid one. If you're not
   convinced, just have a look through the F80 or EOS-30. Nice capable
   cameras sporting among the worst viewfinders ever made. Even the
   lowest MZ does better.

   Servus, Alin
