Is the EVF on GX9 really worse than that on the GX7

(The VF on my now-defunct Fuji X30 was great - much better than the GX7, which made it a pleasure to use, despite the lower sensor resolution etc. etc.)

Never try X30.

But 100% agreed with you. Sometimes more resolution is only better for a larger size evf. In case of GX7/85/9, the still relatively high resolution (around 2M dots crowed in a 0.525x evf vs 2.4M dots in a 0.74x evf of EM5) is indeed a burden, will stress our eye more .

Take LVF-2, the external evf of GX1. It has 1.44M dot resolution, a norm of evf of its day, and 0.7x magnification. It has less detail, image not as crispy sharp and bright as GX7/85/9, but is is good enough to check focus, framing and exposure control and is very comfortable to use for a very long time.
