Extending EVF - an Annoyance.

GodSpeaks wrote:

EVF: One thing I do NOT like about the EVF is that it extends about one centimeter behind the rear of the camera. This causes the EVF to catch on things as you put it away, especially in tight spaces.

I would have much prefered a non tilting EVF, if it could have been made flush with the back of the camera.

This is an issue on most Panasonic G-series cameras, and except the GX7 no one has a tilting EVF.

Not only does it catch on things, the rubber cover of the EVF gets more and more loose and on my oldest camera I am afraid of losing it some day.
