Re: GX7 EVF great or not so great

I tried the GX7 in a store here in the UK, and although the build quality, handling, operation were all top notch, the EVF is not as good as the NEX 6. I think Sony have developed a top notch EVF, same as they use in the clip on one for the NEX's without EVFs.

But I only had a few minutes with the GX7 and did not make any adjustments. Sony appeared to be higher res, larger field of view and more colour. But again, only a few mins with the GX7.

Will make a choice between the GX7, Canon 70D and any new NEX Sony may or may not announce later in the year. Winner will be whichever offers the best dynamic range, focus speed/accuracy and noise free images in lowish light with an f1.8 to f2 lens. And silent zoom during video recording. EVF wise, more concerned about focusing and exposure than colour, can always check colour with the LCD.
