Hi all,

It's been 3 years since I got mu Oly XZ2 and to be honest I shot less than 2k photos. It's a nice little camera with great lens but every now and then I feel like I need a camera with Evf while adjusting the manual focus on particular area on the subject which is hit and miss if you use the lcd only.

Should I:

1- buy the Evf for Oly and keep it

2- upgrade to a new Canon G7x / G9x Mkii?

How noticeable would be the IQ between the new Canon cams and XZ2 (considering the great lens on XZ2) ?

Thanks

Neither of the cameras mentioned has an EVF so you would be back in the same boat. The G5X is what you probably need if anything though that is a Mk I. I would think the 1" sensor would show an improvement over the Olympus.
