I saw the black and red today. They are extremely small.

I like that an integrated EVF is becoming a trend.

Looks like a great evolution of the GM1. Tempting, but I use my RX100 almost exclusively as my small camera at this point.

How is the EVF? Just got my GM-1 decked out the way I wanted but really missed an EVF
in some conditions.

I like this cam except the 1/50s flash sync.

Love the new control wheel and EVF. Too late for me as I love the Sony RX100III as a backup to my A7S.

I didn't get to use the new stuff today, just see it and take pics. Play time comes later this week.

Thanks. Will await play time.

The thumb wheel also looks like a very nice improvement.
LCD looks a tad smaller than GM-1 and mag on the EVF is only 0.46. Perhaps that is adequate. Will see what you think.

I hope they fixed the shutter shock issues on the GM-1. Returned two new ones from two different shops, both had problems 30% of shots.

Edit: It was the 12-32mm lens not actually the GM-1 although it happens with that combo from what I recall.

The what?!?!??! The GM1 has the most benign shutter around and it is EFCS to boot. Besides never, ever seeing a shutter shock problem with mine, nor ever reading about anyone having it I just can't imagine how it would even be physically possible for the GM1 to produce any.

Are you actually talking about the GM1? The shutter only ever moves at the *end* of the exposure and it is an incredibly light not to mention *slow* curtain.

Sorry, my mistake. I meant the 12-32mm lens. The GM1 is actually ok.

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification!

Same here. If I didn't have an RX100 and if I didn't mostly use adapted MF lenses, I might be quite interested.

Wish it had a touchscreen. Panasonic's touchscreen UI is great on the GH4 and GM1. Love picking a focus point while looking thru the EVF on the GH4.

Edit - oops, thought I was posting in LX100 thread!

Curiously DPR lists the EVF mag as 0.92 and imaging resource as what I quoted as 0.46. Suspect the latter is true. Perhaps DPR and manufacturers consider VF mag with 50mm lens "normal." Rather a deceptive practice if not specifying the standards.

Does it still have the 1/50 flash sync?

Don't know for sure, but I suspect the answer is yes. The sensor and shutter are suppose to be the same as is in the GM1.
