Those of you who are using glasses. How do you find G9's EVF compared to GX8?

I just read athread where some people are complaining about the G9's EVF and I don't have a opportunity to test it myself without ordering it. G9 should have better EVF but now I'm not so sure anymore.

I think most of the "complaints" about the G9's EVF are that it has slight pin-cushion edges.  I never notice it unless I really look for it.

The G9 has a V Mode button near the EVF that lets you select three sizes for the image in the EVF.  My understanding is that the slightly smaller sizes are primarily for people who wear glasses.  All of them are great, IMO, but I don't wear glasses when taking photos.  I don't think you should worry about the EVF.
