I have a GH1 and I would say it has the best electronic viewfinder I've every seen. It does get a little 'grainy' in low light but still indicates proper focus, even in the manual focus mode. Not as pocketable as the GF-1 but it has the swing and rotate LCD which the GF1 doesn't have which I myself have found very handy, and when you add the accessory viewfinder to the GF1 it not only adds to it's expense but makes it harder to slip into your pocket.
