I had a short hands-on viewing of a G1 a couple of days ago and was quite impressed. Under the flouro lighting of the store interior I found that the finder had a slight soft strobing effect. We have 50Hz power here, and I notice that its EVF has a 60 fps refresh rate, which coincidentally (or not)matches the 60Hz that most countries supply their electricity at, regardless of the voltage. Other than that, I'd score the G1's finder above many SLR screens that I've used. It was sharp, bright and snappy even with the kit lens. I couldn't comment about the speed of response or shutter lag, but suspect that true SLRs will continue to dominate fast action photography. Godfrey's comments about the G1's suitability for candid portraiture, especially restless children, will be interesting.
