There’s also a text review to accompany the video preview.

The preview hosted on youtube (which I can display here) is a shortened version of the full preview… make sure to visit the ephotozinte.tv site for the full preview.

Interestingly, there’s a new feature shown in the video that I’ve not seen discussed before – and that’s the ability to modify the LCD screen color:

From the text review:
“Noticing the black on white screen I asked Chris Lowe about how people who are partially sighted may have trouble with the colour arrangement and he showed me a menu option in the custom functions that allow you to change the colour of the fonts and background. You can select black on white, white on black, beige on brown and light green on dark green.

This opens up more possibilities as partially sighted photographers can adjust to white on black if it’s easier to see. Night photographers can use the green based option so that after an hour in pitch black, the screen isn’t too bright spoiling your nicely adjusted eyes.”
