If you shoot a lot of manual lens stuff on the fly, you'll notice and appreciate the GX7 is better. If all you do is use the finder to compose, it probably won't matter. If you can use the magnifying feature most of the time, either camera is fine.

In fact, as a glasses wearer, the key feature for me is often the eye point. It's really frustrating when you have to press your specs up hard against the camera and then make a big effort to see into the corners of the image. That's something camera makers could address quite easily I imagine.

I always wear glasses. The eye point on both my E-M1s is sufficient for me to see the entirety of the EVF. As I have astigmatism as well as normal correction, I have to use my distance script part of my bifocals.

I set the dioptre correction of the camera eyepiece to very close to the middle of the range.
