GX7 EVF not so great
1

GX7 EVF not so great. In fact, I am returning my copy of this camera just because of the EVF. I have been using it for about a week and during this time I was not able to adjust the diopter correction properly. Image in the VF can never get sharp and on the LCD, that has much less pixels, I can see every detail much much better. I wanted to use GX7 and it's focus peaking and magnified PIP with the Voigtlanders but the EVF does quite ruin my experience. Yes, I can frame the picture quite well with it, but I feel as if I had my glasses off.

With VF-2 in my E-M5, on the other hand, I have nothing to complain about in this regard. It is at least as sharp as the OLED (if not sharper), it has considerably bigger 4:3 view (the GX7's 16:9 EVF when cropped to 4:3 is definitely smaller) and it does not tear the image to rainbow.

I even tried another copy of GX7 in my camera store but I did not see any difference. I will try it again, because I loved all the features of GX7 and I think it is a great camera.
