In my view, the price can not be a negative criterion, because the benefits of such a product can be assessed individually and no one is forced to buy these seekers or even the camera to. On the contrary, unjustified negative reviews prevent the further spread and thus a possible price reduction. In addition, conservative stock manufacturers such as Canon are thus encouraged again, preferable unspeakable Mini peepholes a la G1X (first version)!
Now the technical part: The viewfinder is the G1X Mark II meets all my expectations! Bright and clear, this color neutral and balanced. What has always bothered me to the over-contrast, unnatural and especially faint OLED viewfinders of Fuji and Sony: Of these no trace! Also you have with the eye not too close for a full overview, such. As for SONY NEX-6 and 7. Apart from the sheer size figure he can easily keep up with the VF-4 Olympus. For this he is delicate and the image to overlook super. As for the frame rate, which is adaptable and certainly at the level of the time!
The build quality is impeccable, compact metal housing, it securely locks into a locking knob to prevent accidental slipping. This had always been a little bothered me on VF-2 Olympus. The Dioptrienvesrtellung is positioned so that it will not be accidentally moved each time to get out of the pocket (vulnerability of the VF-4 of Olympus).
Regarding the criticism Price: These are a product for committed amateur photographers, as well as the G1X Mark II itself and is certainly not a product for the mass market. It is neither expensive nor worse than the highly acclaimed Olympus VF-4, a G1X Mark II with EVF is still cheaper than a comparable Nikon One V3 and there are also one or the other hand offer. Comparable quality viewfinder system cameras have unfortunately the disadvantage that they can not be combined with comparable lenses the size and intensity of a Mark II G1X lack of availability.
