[Leica] GF 1 and G1 EVFs

[drodgers at casefarms.com (David Rodgers)]

One thing I particularly like about the GF-1 is photographing with the
EVF flipped up. I do that quite a bit. It's inconspicuous.  

One thing I've learned from using my Rollei TLR's is that people
generally assume you're photographing in the direction you're looking.
It doesn't seem to matter which way the lens is pointing. Even camera
sensitive people don't react much if they're not in your line of sight.
Call it the prism factor.

Both the GF-1 or E-P2 are great small cameras. I don't think a person
could go wrong with either one.

I have quite a few 4/3 lenses which I like but which do not autofocus
with the Panasonic bodies. I tried the Olympus E-P1 which confirmed that
I hate framing using the rear screen, as I suspected. I recently tried
the Olympus E-P2 which has a higher resolution removable finder than the
GF1, autofocuses with my legacy 4/3 lenses and FWIW has in body
stabilisation. It is tiny. I bought it. For me it is a better choice
than the GF-1.
cheers,
