Update--five months later: As I've continued to use the two cameras, I've decided the whole negative vibe thing was kind of overblown. I was...
Okay, I managed to source a PDF of the manual online and after perusing it a few minutes, I found out a few things: The function in question is...
So, I've continued to look at the XSi, for which I do not have a manual, and the only logical place to switch between the optical viewfinder and...
So, I tried it a little while ago with different lens and everything worked fine. I then put the 18-55mm kit zoom back on, and it also worked...
