Well, Sony didn't quite "get" it close enough for me.  I wasn't aware of 
the raw file problem and that's a biggy.  But the specs turned me off 
when I saw that the EVF resolution, while better than the Minolta A1 
(which is gawd-awful and near useless), is less than the Minolta A2.

If the camera had a high-res EVF, say 800x600 or better, I'd probably 
buy one.  All the advantages (and more) of the E-330 for ground level 
macro work but only barely usable in the eye-level viewfinder 
department.  Maybe they'll get it all right on the next go around... 
maybe even with a KM lens mount.
