You stated Joju that you didn't mind someone giving their opinion of EVFs as long as long as it wasn't prejudged and there was no preconception here! ............. I had high hopes for the Nikon 3.69 Mps EVF as it has been well received ........ so I was expecting to see a clear realistic representation through the EVF ...... my immediate reaction was I was looking at an image with HDR type contrast levels as well as almost being able to see the pixels ...... maybe I detected a little scintillance/shimmering ..... ever so slightly.

As for the rest of the camera I was surprised by just how compact it was and how good it felt in the hand, nice and solid ....... although a little hesitancy of the AF with the G2 was noticeable .... no further comments as I only used it for a couple of minutes .....Oh, except the guy went through the first battery in double quick time ....... and went through the second a little while later.

So that's fine for me, as my dreams of a Z6 or other ML bodis are now just that .......dreams.

The next time I'm in town I must go into a decent camera store and look through "all the latest ML models" ..... I want to see what the EVF of the top of the range Panasonic looks like with it's 5.6 Mps sensor.

ML EVF's still have a long way to go to match their optical counterparts ...... inspite of the OVF's short comings!
