The L1 doesn’t have a lousy EVF, it has no EVF it is an optical viewfinder because it is a DSLR!

The L1 has excellent colour reproduction but benefits from working in RAW. If you work in RAW you will find the DR is amongst the best in class. Plus no mention was made of three of the L1′s best features, the bounce flash, the quality of construction and the feel in the hand.
