No GAS, but the beginning of a new trend of integrated EVFs? If yes, than this is an important camera as it will show competition what to do next. A RX101 with integrated EVF and a faster lens at the long end would be quite something, even if it was slightly bigger than the RX100.
Well, it offers the same focal length range as the Nikon P7700, only slower and with fewer manual controls. In return for these downsides, it's smaller. I don't think the EVF will excite many people, but based on the other specs, it could be an alternative to the P7700 for those who want a smaller camera, or an alternative to the Canon S110 for those who want a longer reach...
Having recently handled a P7700 and a P310, I can say that cameras frankly get too small to be able to easily access the controls - it quickly becomes a two handed juggle as you try to get just a finger tip on a tiny button while not dropping the shiny slippery body. That's why I'd rather take a P7700 (almst identical to an Oly E-P3 body size) over the smaller P310 because for me it has that balance of size, weight and build quality that says this is a camera worth carrying around.
IF the LF1 had a higher spec EVF while retaining the same price tag, would that change anyone's mind?
Think of a LX8 with a higher spec EVF, the LX7`s fast zoom and the Sony 1 inch sensor. Now that would be quite something and give me a GAS outbreak.
