I understand that opinions are like belly buttons. Everyone has one. But, they are all different.
The question, I am posing is NOT:
Which is better built?
Which has better IQ?
Which has better color?
Which is faster?
ETC.,
Let me set forth a few stats, to couch the question.
I am 68 years old with bad heart, left eye going blind, Slight cataract in right eye. But, very active.
Must have the VF in bright light.
I do use a light tripod quite a lot.
My photography, is almost totally outdoor, nature, and some close up. On rare occasion, I will do a family event, wedding etc. My current lens used, is the Olympus 14-42ii. And, it suits my needs quite well. But, I do look over the fence toward a nice prime or 2 eventually.
My current body is the Panasonic G1. I have had some very nice later bodies over the last few years, but the kids have from time to time needed a nice camera, so dad to the rescue. And so I have owned this G1 3 times! It has a slight crack in the LCD, but still works great. I am going to retire it to legacy 135mm duty.
So, after all that drivel, if you are still here, which would you prefer, for actual ease and convenience of use and transport. (No camera bags used) I do favor the idea of the EVF being on the left, rather than the center. But, it is not the main criteria.
I will buy used, as money is tight.
Thanks, for your thoughtful consideration.
