I had that camera for about three years. Initially I used it conventionally framing all pictures through the EVF, but within six months, all framing was done via the display. I now find using the camera in this was much easier. I have toyed with the idea of purchasing and EVF to use with my G3X, however, I have not yet made the purchase and find framing shots is fine on the rear LCD display. I have taken BIF shots also, it becomes easier with practice. Now I am not saying I won't end up purchasing an EVF, just that I have managed so for without one. Just a word about shooting raw, the Canon G3X is very slow shooting in raw. In fact, I would estimate it's achieving about 1 picture a second shooting in raw format. I personally use high quality JPGs for my photography. If faster shooting rates are required by you when shooting in raw, or you can't bring yourself to shoot in JPG format then I would suggest the Canon G3X is not the camera for you. Hope this helps Chris?</blockquote>
