We had to know this would come along eventually

Any opinions? I'm not convinced it could be all that useful.

By now I reckon I would poke my eye out with it

This has been discussed a couple of times before... While I think that it would be very useful for candid street photography and macro photography it is very expensive for what it is...

Well this is the first I've seen of it on this forum, so thanks Mike for reposting something that has been discussed before.
Looks kind of interesting but given the shape of it and position I'd be scared that the thing would get a fair bit of leverage and break off the mounting flanges for the rubber eyecap.

Yes, it has been introduced here few times and none of any interests.
Buy a P&S instead of getting it for the DSLR.

I don't see how one could assure proper/desired focus.

Just use auto focus.

I'm often suprised by the fact that such products exist and that there is aparently a market for them(?)

Why?
A top down viewfinder allows for an experience similar to what you might get on a top-down on a medium format camera.
It makes sense to me.

They also make a version of this with a very cool motion tracking function; the viewfinder is split into a 3x3 grid, and each square an be configured to trigger the camera if something moves in it (works by change in contrast I think). Not 100% sure how this would work with a D70, but a nice idea, anyway !

Ideal for macro and journalism shots
