Re: GX7 mark II?!

Evf, basically a tiny TV screen. No matter in what position, the difference is small. If we look at it from the top, the shade of ourself might help slightly under strong sun. Same effect as wearing a cap and look at evf horizontally.

There is an optional oversized rubber eye cup to help. I don't need it despite I am spectacle wearer. But some are happy with it.

Similar to smartphone screen, strongly related to the brightness of the display. The evf (so are the LCD) of GX7 (GX85 & GX9 uses the same display units) are very bright so are usable in most usual lighting confitions. LVF2 of GX1 is worse (quite bad relative to that of GX7/85/9) in this respect.

I found the beauty of waist level low angle shooting a lot from LVF2, very happy to enjoy the tiltable evf of GX7, missed it a lot on GX85 (a.k.a GX7 mk-II in Japan)...
