I agree - it is a pity that the last bit of the tail isn't in the
photo but in the heat
of battle sometimes you have to go with what you get!!

I have changed my photo position at the Thieves Bay (climbing up on a
rock ledge)
just so I can have some human scale in some of the photos. Otherwise
the whales could be
any size without reference.

It's the best EVF that I have used but in bright sun the TV image is
sometimes hard to see.
EVFs do not hold a candle to old prism viewfinders but the size of the
camera with long telephoto
zooms is a big plus compared to my Nikon D700 with its zooms. And the
image quality, as you can see,
is very good.
Cheers
Howard
