I just received my GF1 today with the EVF and I must say I'm impressed. The viewfinder is, in my opinion, not disappointing as some of the reviewers have suggested. In fact, it's really rather good, though not as crisp as the G1's. And yes, it is possible to manual focus with it.Wonderful, I have been waiting for a report on this thing. Can you give a more detailed description? Is it possible to manual-focus with the viewfinder, or is the resolution inadequate?
I have never used a G1, so I suspect I won't have the opportunity to be disappointed.
Great news !I just received my GF1 today with the EVF and I must say I'm impressed. The viewfinder is, in my opinion, not disappointing as some of the reviewers have suggested. In fact, it's really rather good, though not as crisp as the G1's. And yes, it is possible to manual focus with it.
Really great news for me. Now that it is showing up in the UK, hopefully it will not be long for the US. I can use the LCD most of the time and even use my 35mm finder, but that doesn't work for MF and I do want to carry one fast longer MF lens with me besides the 20. Can't wait.Great news !
I forgot to mention that, as a bonus, the EVF comes in a beautifully crafted and designed leather case that's up to Leica standards.Really great news for me.

LOL, thats right, i forgot to mention that. I will add that i took the hotshoe cover which comes with the GF1, and put it into that case for safe keeping.I forgot to mention that, as a bonus, the EVF comes in a beautifully crafted and designed leather case that's up to Leica standards.
I wasn't going to say anything. Glad someone has more b...s than me.Typo there, you misspelled "Dylan."
Ya' know that you're just adding salt to the wound--so to speak :ROTFL: I really really do want the EVF before the end of October, but wishing it so won't make it happen and I would like to leave my order with Robert and not order from Japan--at a premium price at that.LOL, thats right, i forgot to mention that.

Ianinmurray, are you one of those Brits that got the GF1 and EVF?? --or did you order it from Ebay also??I forgot to mention that, as a bonus, the EVF comes in a beautifully crafted and designed leather case that's up to Leica standards.
Diane - It pains me to tell you that I bought the EVF on eBay. In fact, I had it for almost a week before the camera arrived, which, I think you'll agree, is even more frustrating than being in your anxious state. Anyhow, I hope your EVF arrives soon. I know you won't be disappointed.Ianinmurray, are you one of those Brits that got the GF1 and EVF?? --or did you order it from Ebay also??
Would you be kind enough to put the camera in burst mode Raw only (no jpeg) and count how many images it can fire off in the burst before it slows down to where it has to clear out space on the buffer. On a Trascend class 6 I get about 6 and I have a Sandisk Extreme III that gets 7. Would love to see what the new fast cards can do.By the way, i do not know if anyone has tried the Panny SD card yet, but i got a 8 Gig class 10 from B&H, and i do not think i can snap enough pics fast enough to slow it down. Never seen that before.
Yes, that would be worseDiane - It pains me to tell you that I bought the EVF on eBay.
