OK, I'm convinced that it does what it says but I find #4 confusing. I
assume that choosing AF to stay locked when the button is released is
what duplicates the Canon's implementation of that feature... ie, the
camera will not refocus until I press the button again?
I'm in a dilemma. The GX7 is now selling at Panasonic or B&H for $749.
If I buy from B&H right now, while in Florida, I won't pay sales tax.
But I won't get a chance to handle Don Holbrooks' E-M1 until I leave
Florida. :-)
I think I'll resolve the dilemma by not buying anything real soon.
