So trueLovely dogs post as many as you like. Gone are the days I used my kids as models to test out new gear, nowadays only the cats will oblige And animals are better subjects really, more fine detail - humans are boring
My rescue beagle
As an experienced dog owner I can honestly say this beagle is like no other dog I have known. We love her to bits but would we have another . . . . Errr ! Let me think on that. Is she not the brightest dog in the pack or is she just strong willed and stubborn ? The jury is out.

I don't think either of these have very good evf, usable but neither will overly impress. But it would appear that the Pany evf is slightly better between these models.
I think you must be one of the very few who believe this. In fact I've never heard or read anyone say that before. But, each to his own and the buyer must make their own mind up.
Believe what? I'm going by the specs, compared to other cameras. I'm sure they are ok, but you're not going to be blown away is what I mean. You've never heard anyone say the GX80 evf isn't great? There's probably a dozen such posts in this very thread if you want to search them. I've seen people post exactly this numerous times, so I'm going by that + actual spec. No point saying it's grand, best to know what you're buying into. The buyer asked, we're helping him do just that. In the link just above posted by Harvey it specifically states that the GX80 evf is better than the A6000 "
- More detailed viewfinder: Has higher resolution electronic viewfinder (2765k vs 1440k dots).
I have better things to do that search this thread, just sayin, I think yours is a minority view but if you've based it on specs that explains it.
My issue with the field sequential evf isn't the rainbow tearing that some see it's that it's difficult to impossible to get a sharp image throughout the whole display and any movement of the eye away from the centre throws it all off. I don't know if the issue is the actual evf or whatever optics Panasonic have put in front of it (I think that's possibly the problem) but whatever the issue is it is IMO pants by todays standards and nowhere near even the perceived quality (as you use the thing, not when reading the spec sheet) of the Nex series I used.
Specs are there for a reason, why not just say you've actually compared both instead of being a pedantic narky git? You're on here all day it seems, of course you have time to check this thread if you wanted to And I meant to do that in relation to the GX80 evf, you're post wasn't clear as to what you were contesting. Anything else I said you'd like to nit pick while you're at it? It'd be easier to just state that you tried both and the A6000 has a better vef, no need for arguing about it is there? I gave up that nonsense a while back
If she uses the LCD most of the time evf might be the least important factor either way. We're trying to help, I'm not looking to score points here.
Actually, let's ask @SsSsSsSsSnake - How important is the evf? or will she mostly be composing via LCD. No point dithering on about the evf if it's not a big factor in the choice
I wondered how long it'd take you to start the sniping? Proud of yourself?
I'm a full time carer and often tied to the house and my pc is often on for hours but I actually spend maybe a total of 1/2 an hour to an hour reading and posting on here per day, if I'm having a quiet day and in between doing other things. ok?
I will just add something else on the GX80 v A6xxx choice...
The Panny has two control dials which can be used for aperture/shutter/exposure compensation whereas the Sony only has the one and for the other function you have to spin the big wheel around the four pads on the back... if you can follow that. A look at the cameras on one of the review sites should clarify what I'm talking about. Personally I much prefer having the front and back dials at the top of the camera as Panny do it rather than using the back wheel with the Sony.
I'll let you get back to reading specs, sniping and arguing with anyone who'll waste their time doing that with you now. And here's a for you too.

I had a A6000 and couldn't adapt to it after DSLRs , bloody expensive as well , I have just sold my Tan and Silver Panny GX80 on this forum , great camera and the wife loved it's look (if that counts for anything) , I'm getting a black GX9 soon just a bit of a change and the fact my remaining lenses are all black .
Buy her the Tan Panny
