This is not the original 4/3 system, this is a new micro 4/3 and supposedly they Have developed a much better EVF than ever before. Also AF is from The sensor, not the VF which is supposedly good, but I don't know The speed compared to a DSLF AF system.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. The EVF view is insufficient to focus with, and looks like the busy bee night vision resolution. The rear LCD is much better, but you really in both cases must rely on the AF to be spot on. I have a friend who has been in the business for 40 years who swears by his Limux (sic) yet spends countless minutes working on getting the focus and DOF correct. Surely it's been technologically improved since then, but how good is it to use?
