Hi Geoffrey

Have you got the evf extension eyecup? This makes a huge difference imo. It should have been included as standard rather than an extra. When you don't need group photos try shooting in 3:2 as this also greatly enhances the evf image as it loses the black bars on the sides. Quite frankly using 3:2 as opposed to 4:3 and viewing the results on a pc screen there is negligible difference in IQ, at least not to my equally tired old eyes. I can't remember us shouting for 4:3 format when shooting DSLR's!

Forget the GM5, the viewfinder is substantially smaller.

Regards.
