Is the Olympus VF3 Electronic viewfinder useful?
The Olympus VF3 electronic viewfinder works really well. It hasn’t got a super high resolution, but it beats trying to see something on the LCD screen in the sunshine. If you feel the need for that higher resolution, and want to pay for that, you may consider the much more expensive VF4. The finder slides smoothly into, and has a nice tight fit in the accessory shoe, then locks in. Push a button on the side to release it. A dial on the side let’s you set the dioptres so you do not need to wear your glasses. A push button on the back activates the finder, and at the same time switches the LCD screen off. Push it again and your screen is back. The finder swivels up to 90 degrees, which can be very handy where your subject, and your camera for that matter, is in a low position, for instance when photographing children or animals. It is nice and compact, whereas the VF4 is more bulky, less elegant. Never having used one of these before, it was a surprise to me, that the finder actually gives a brighter image than any objects that are in fact in darker situations, which makes manual focusing significantly easier. So I can definitely recommend this viewfinder. It was my choice because it was less expensive than the VF4, but even more because of the compact and elegant model. If you are not sure if you want or need the higher resolution VF4 finder, you need to go to your photo-shop, and compare the both of them. I am happy with it! Good luck!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Every digital camera should have one.
This electronic viewfinder made by Olympus works exactly as advertised. When lighting conditions render the LCD screen useless I can now see what I'm photographing with ease. The button on the back allows me to switch viewing between the LCD screen and the viewfinder, and back, at any time. The view finder can be rotated for changing the viewing angle to anything up to 90 degrees (vertical). Be advised, that if you buy one of these viewfinders, you will most likely need to update the firmware on your camera before it will work. This is a simple 10 minute process. Overall. an excellent value!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A perfect companion for the little camera
This item has completed the old, but well working, Olympus ZX-2 camera. Perfect for those moment when the use of the back display is a problem. All information of the display will be reproduced in the viewfinder.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good Value. Works Well.
Having previously owned and lost the VF-2, the price for this VF-3 was too good to ignore. Overall it's a good product and works well on my Olympus pen. Inevitably, because of its lower pixel count, brightness and clarity suffers a bit, but I'm more than happy to live with this as it doesn't effect my enjoyment. Excellent service from Japanese supplier.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
