How to overcome the lack of viewfinder and flash on M43 Oly EP-1

Here's how.

I took the LCD Viewfinder for 5d Mkii and voila, it works great. (to make the thread Canon related)

And a Nikon Speedlite and I'm good to go. Very happy with this camera. Of course I won't be doing any sports or birds.. but as a walkaround camera, it's great.

Doesn't this somewhat defeat the purpose of the Oly? I mean... the entire setup is about the size of a DSLR.

I was just messin around..

I may use the LCD Viewfinder in extreme condition...bright sunlight and manual focusing...but I'll lose the flash.

Why don't yet an accessory brightline viewfinder to pop into the hot shoe?

(If you do, you might want to use some electrician's tape on the base to be certain it can't short out some of the contacts)

I don't know.. that's a faux viewfinder of sort isn't it... and won't accurately view with interchanging lenses or zoom.... I would hate to cut off the head of my subject in the picture, y'know.
