Re: GX7 or OMD-E10?

Others have suggested tilting the EVF or the LCD for us "lefties", but I found that to be a poor work around, at best. What I did do is disable the touch screen, then I had to repurpose the 4 way controller to do the job of setting the focus point. By this time I'd pretty much destroyed all the features of the GX7 and finally gave up. Others have more patience.

BTW, I also had the E-M10 II and had the same issues, even worse since I could not reliably turn the darn touch focus off.....two inadvertent nose taps and the devil appeared again.

If the eye thing is a problem, I'd get a used E-M10 for about $300 if you can find one in your part of the world, or save up for the E-M 5 II, like I did. Well worth the wait (I also found a good deal on a second used E-M5 II at about the same price as a new E-M10 II)
