Now let’s face the big question. Who of you believes a GX model with built-in viewfinder would have been a better product than the newly announced [shoplink 26836]Panasonic GX1[/shoplink]?

And not everybody wants a viewfinder, so at least this gives the consumer the option of having it or not. Personally I do not use them…“. (Source: Photographyblog).

Let’s make some calculations about the possible price of the GX model with built-in viewfinder:
1) The GX1 body costs $700 at Amazon. The external viewfinder has been priced at around $250. Total price: $950
2) The [shoplink 25396]NEX-7[/shoplink] costs $1200 (but price will go up because of the flood)
3) The [shoplink 19929]Fuji X100[/shoplink] (which comes with fixed lens) also costs $1200.
4) The current Panasonic L1 Four Thirds camera with built-in viewfinder sells for $1900 at Amazon and for $1000 used on [shoplink 23692 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

So let’s assume the price of the GX model with built-in viewfinder would be $1000-$1100. The question is:
