This guy doesn't like it either. And he has a
blog! Everybody knows that the World Internet Council doesn't allow you to have a blog unless you are really smart and knowledgeable. So he must be right...
I just read the blog--Ah--well, those of us that use the G1's very very good EVF know that often the colors are 'off'--that really doesn't bother me one bit. I already know what the colors are (and know the image will be 'correct'--whatever that is)--and I use a VF for composition and focusing. I'll have to see about the 'tunnel' vision, but mostly people who have used the G1 EVF have reasonably good things to say about the GF1 EVF--and those that have never used it don't.
I came from a 5D--and have used 1.6x bodies for years before the last 4 with the 5D. I didn't expect to 'like' an EVF but when I first tried it thought it was 'usable' and I'd compromise for the size/weight of the G1. Since then--I've learned to actually love the EVF. I miss it when I shoot with the 5D LOL. Who woulda' thunk?!? So--I'm much more likely to be open minded about the GF1's EVF because of my first dealings with the G1's. I DO NOT expect the same quality, but I am betting I can MF with it.
And--of course Ranger 9 is right---if you have a blog you HAVE to be smart and knowledgeable--and RIGHT. And--if you post a lot and have lots of cameras (or have had over the years, though you never keep one long), you must be the best person to opine about the GF1---of course
(a reference to another forum--bad, I know, but I'm just tired--TIRED, I say, of reading things that seem more written to get attention than be useful :banghead:
Ah, rereading that last paragraph, I realize that's totally out of character for me on a forum--well, sometimes it just slips out :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:
