But the EVF a) is TTL and therefore without parallax error and b) it includes shutterspeed/aperture info in the finder as well as a histogram and other information that otherwise you'd have to take the camera away from your eye to see. The one on the GF-1 is also bendable so you can use it also as a wlf, or with the camera all the way to the ground. With auto focus and face recognition it focuses a lot faster than I can with a rangefinder. The thing that I like most about my M's is the size, not so much the focusing system. YMMV
