Yes interesting, as you say.

Although my gut reaction is that the sort of things you need a waist level finder for are going to be in bright sunlight when it will be less use than a Tuscan display when you pass a speed camera!

The Zigview is particularly useful for low angle photography where you would struggle to see through the viewfinder especially with Macro work, or high angle situations such as press work where it is impossible to see the subject when taking pictures over crowds etc. Zigview makes it easy to see the subject in both these situations and many more, without any difficulty.

Appears to be rotatable

A hi-tech version of a right-angle finder, which does the job with a short tube and a mirror.

Handy for studio/tabletop work I suppose but as you say, not much use in bright daylight.

Well, I ordered one yesterday. I'll report back when I get it

LCDs used to do WHAT?!?

That just isn't natural

I think I've been using DSLRs too long...
