I picked up a G3 kit as I've been really impressed with some of the images I've been seeing lately from the camera and also for some of the upcoming lenses like the 25mm f1.4 which looks great.
However, man.... I'm really not enjoying the EVF on the camera. I do enjoy an optical finder first and foremost but on the X100 at least, really find the EVF perfectly usable.
G3 just doesn't seem to compare, looks like an EVF, while the X100 feels pretty much like an optical finder on a DSLR. I don't know if its just got more eye relief or what, perhaps seeing the black around the frame like a SLR etc, but I'm just not enjoying the G3 EVF.
Now I used to shoot m4/3 for a while and had a GH1 which I don't remember being too bad.
Is the G3 EVF smaller than the GH1 or have I just gotten used to the X100 display ??
I'm thinking perhaps going back to a GH1 or GH2 if they do have a better EVF as thats really a key point for me.
Again, G3 otherwise is quite nice, and some serious value for the money, but I'm just not finding it very pleasant to shoot with.
Additionally, anyone else think the control dial on the back is too small ? Really awkward to change settings as its so small....
