AF100 EVF quality?

[antonyoung]

Could those of you who have access to an AF100 comment on the quality/resolution of the EVF? How is it for focusing, especially while handheld/moving? And if you have experience with the 7D/Z-finder combo, how would you compare the AF100 to that for focusing?

The AF100's EVF is the same quality as that on the HPX300/HPX370. It's very sharp, highly detailed, and (for a camcorder EVF) it's reasonably large. It's not as big as a 3" LCD magnified with a ZFinder. But as an on-camera viewfinder goes, I think it's one of the best currently available. For focusing, you can turn the color off and leave the red peaking on, and it's very good.
