At an outdoor live I could finally use my wide lens to get low-angle shots without having to contemplate diving headfirst into the concrete in order to get my head behind the camera... After reading the article, it seems like the 300 model has an AV input - I'm interested to see if the AV cables will work with (or can be adapted to work with) the video outputs of a Canon SLR. The headset lists at 69,800 yen (around 700 bucks and rising with the current exchange rates), but when you consider that a regular angle finder costs a couple of hundred bucks for just an eyepiece and mirror... All in all this could be a serious photographic tool when considering the live view with AF capabilities in the new-model SLRs...
