Godfrey - I was also thinking about the Panasonic GX-7. I noticed the eyepiece swivels 90 degrees. That interested me more than a flip-out back lcd panel. It's still and EVF, but I think I could get used to that as long as it's in the eyepiece. It looks like a nice little camera that would be easy to carry around for casual shooting. gs
