I don't understand why you'd hold the camera out at arms length when using a tilting screen. You can keep the camera close to your body and look down at it, shooting at waist level without bending over at all. Holding the camera like that I find that I'm actually more stable than when pressing it to my eye.

Every now and then I try the tilting EVF on my GX7 and GX9, but I've yet to find a situation where it actually works better for me than just using the screen.

For me three reasons/situations why the tilting EVF is better:

  1. Night street photography or indoors where I don't want the rear screen to light up my face.
  2. Bright sunlight when it's hard to see the rear screen, especially when tilted up.
  3. I need reading glasses to see the rear screen but don't need them if I use the EVF.
