Hi
Like I promised I looked into the "micro 4/3rds cameras" and it seems like here in the Washington D C, Baltimore area none of the camera stores(15) has any on hand and 2 major chain stores the managers refuses to carry any Panasonic photography products and the department manager of one said "Panasonic should stick to T.V.s and audio equipment and stay out of areas where they have no pior expirience "(Best-Buys). At a reputable camera store (Penn Cameras) they said after I explained what I wanted and why, that I would be better off with either a Canon G-11 or a Nikon P80 or P90.
But after reading all the reports and evaluations of the GF1,G1,GH1,and the Olympus E-P1I am really interested in something like what Panasonic has in their "G1"or the "GF1"but I would like to handle one before I decide to buy or not.
I am leaning to the G1 because it has a view finder that I am use to. I tried the "live view" on my D90 and I had difficulty in composing and following the subjects of my shots and the glare on the view screen from the sun was always a problem and using a view finder for 35 years I find the live view difficult to hold steady and follow the wild life or the Re-enactors from one action shot to the next.
MY question is since I can not examine the camera before buying is the G1 a good choice, anything chronic problems or design problems? Any thing about the camera that would make the GF1with a EVF a better choice?
Sorry for being long winded
Jim
