..and thats why I prefaced all my comments regarding the X1D's EVF (and EVF's in general), as being subjective. Who knows....although doubtful, different X1D demo units may have somewhat different EVF's or associated electronics.
As stated earlier, I found the Leica SL EVF superb and upon first look through the X1D viewfinder, a feeling of mild disappontment was immediately felt. The feeling was mutual among everyone present. No one was looking for definciences or faults, on the contrary. Looking through an EVF and the viseral feeling one gets, is almost immediate with any camera having an EVF.
Depending on expectations, eyesight and other subjective factors, it can disappear from ones consciousness while shooting or be noticable reminding the user that the view through it could be better. It was the latter view of almost all that shared their thoughts that day. That doesn't mean this view (no pun intended) will be universal by everyone who's tried the X1D, but was something most that day took note of almost immediately.
Thats why we say YMMV.
