Hi Piers and all,

Amazon lists the LVF-1 at $159, almost the same... The real advantage of the
LCDVF is the higher resolution of the GF1's rear screen (460k vs. 202k
pixel) but the Panasonic thingy adds a very interesting tilt feature.

It's the opposite, really -- battery life is *longer* with the EVF, because
you can switch between the LCD and EVF, but never have both on at the same
time.

>And it isn't a permanent fixture - held on
by magnets.

Neither is the LVF-1. And the shape of the GF1+LCDVF seems quite awkward
(read "difficult") to store in a bag.

Now, if only Panny would release a LVF-2 with 1.44 MP as seen on their other
EVILs...

Cheers,
