For the Panny G1, expect exactly the opposite, the VF is HUGE, larger than the K20D's, and the EVF is very high resolution (1.4 Million dots, 50% more than even the high-res rear LCD's on the Nikons and Sony's with 3" LCD's). This is a whole lot more camera than the previous Lumix EVF cameras and much of the improvement to the body went to the new EVF, which uses a completely new display tech. -- M.
