Hi,
I have the earlier version (there were two... ) and adapters so that it will fit the majority of my older Canon, Nikon and Pentax 35mm Camera viewfinders.
The pictures a bit grainy, but very useful if you want to take pictures from an unusual angle - much like the screens seen on many digicams like the Oly E-10 and the Oly C5050 from yesterday today.. Mine cannot vary its angle, it is always 90 degrees so effectively provides a picture you can 'look down into'
The later model also had an intervalometer and a few other goodies, including a higher res. screen I believe...

(PS I got mine for VERY little at a Ritz store closing - not sure I would have paid the somewhat high asking price at retail...)

I would say yes.. within the limitations of how bright the scene is.. There is also a built in magnification factor in one model where you can enlarge the scene by a might factor for critical focus... although the resolution of the LCD itself is not too wonderful.
On balance I kept mine so it must be useful? lol

I have the early one where the screen was less flexible in its movements...
