Wow !!  good for you...  I really like the specs of the 5700...  give me an
update after you use it a couple days..
The 5700 has a digital viewfinder opposed to an optical as in the 5400.  I
would really be interested to hear how you feel about a digital viewfinder.
I think this would be difficult for me to adjust to. This is one reason I
feel drawn towards the 5400 or similar.  Please update after getting a feel
for it.

Thanks so much,
Dan R.
