Hi Gerry,

Thank you VERY MUCH for this.

It sounds to me like the majour problem with the G series is the OVF, and a viewfinder is the majour reason that I'm looking at the G series, mostly to see if the image is in focus.

No compact camera OVF will help you with focusing. Full stop! That OVF is just a way to make sure camera is pointed in the right direction. No focus aids and pretty approximate framing.

I have a G15 and it's a lovely camera but as soon as I get to where critical focus is an issue I use the back screen. My dream would be a G17 with a proper EVF, but it will never happen.
