It seemed very small and like looking into a tunnel

Probably caused by the fact that youre looking into a very small tunnel.

I dont think anyone should expect any wonders from it, its extremely small and compact for convenience, to expect an imax viewing experience from it is just unrealistic

I disagree.  We should absolutely expect a good viewable image in a viewfinder free from tunnel effect. Viewfinders should get BETTER with each new model, not worse..  The NEX cameras have nice "large" images in their EVFs.  I can't comment on the GX7 as I haven't actually seen one yet.  But the GH3 finder image is small (and it's not a small camera).  Part of the issue I believe is they crammed a widescreen panel into a small EVF housing.  This requires an overly convex magnifier in front of the panel.  They should have kept the EVF panel at 4:3 to match that of the sensor IMO.

The G6 has a good image in the EVF.
