Re: LVF-2 for GX1, or GX7?

I had a GX1 with LVF-2, and the viewfinder was decent, much better than the LVF-1 for the GF1, which was useless.

I never liked the bulk of the add-on viewfinder, so I much prefer the built-in viewfinder on the GX7.  Right now I can't remember the LVF-2 well enough to specifically compare it to the GX7's viewfinder.  Some people hate the GX7's viewfinder, but I have no problem with it.

But the GX7 is a MUCH better camera than the GX1 in so many other ways.  If there is a way for you to look through the GX7's viewfinder before purchase and see if you have any problems with it, I would definitely recommend that camera over the GX1.  It's not clear to me, but perhaps you already have the GX1 and are considering buying the LVF-2 versus buying the GX7.  I'd still recommend putting your money into the GX7.
