G1/GH1 has 900,000 pixels the Panasonic finder uses a different
principle which results in it's finder being closer to a 2.5 million
pixel finder of the Olympus type. Ie, the G1/GH1 finder is still a
fair bit better. The EP2 finder is certainly a step up from the GF1
finder.
And, as others have noted, the EP2 finder can't be used with the EP1,
only the EPL1.
