Enrique has been trying to blanket the internet with these posts; I, being the developer of the ClearViewer, told him to stop using my trademarked name to describe his device, and that's what he refers to as "threats". Proof is at Panasonic's dpreview forum. I make several models of ClearViewers, including premium lens and standard lens models, none of which are just buying something from ebay and reselling it. Take $8 worth of parts and add an hour's shop labor to it, and the $35 basic price doesn't seem so unreasonable (to a sane person) after all. Add a lens that retails for $30 if bought on its own, and the $53 for the premium model again doesn't seem unreasonable. Certainly, build your own if you have the time and wish to, but for those who have better things to do, don't be misled by Enrique's inaccurate and misleading statements. Thanks for reading

Actually this bright spark "clear view" guy just resell a very cheap eBay loupe (eBay item #230523772052, vendor "Tinxi-Global") with a little addon (a metal plate with a screw) for more than twenty (20) times the original price. Many other eBay vendors sell the same article. Don't be cheated! Everybody can do the same for less than 2 dollars. I have been threatened and insulted for this guy in Panasonic DPReview forum for disclose his cheat.

I have received my Tripod-Socket ClearViewer with the Premium Lens. I love it! It makes such a difference when composing pictures and allows me to hold the camera steadier.

It has the feel of using a good electronic viewfinder. Of course the resolution is limited by the LCD screen, but it is quite decent. Also, it does extend the width of the camera just enough to make it more difficult to put in a a pocket.

The feature I have missed most from my DSLR has been a viewfinder. No more, I am totally pleased.
