It is the best EVF on the market and a revelation. The GF 1's EVF with about 200,000 pixels (again check the number) is only barely acceptable for framing. It is the weakest point of the GF 1, in my opinion. I sure hope they do replace the EVF with a higher quality finder. That would make the GF 1 even better. Cheers Howard
