Thanks John.  I think that Matsushita readdressed some of the button
layout with the G3 in the course of also dropping some features. 
Perhaps ergonomic considerations prevailed.

Could you live without the auto-on feature of the EVF?  The only reason
I'm really interested in a Panny over an Oly m4/3 is the onboard EVF.

And Ken, why do you think you'd prefer a Sony NEX over a G3?
