Coming up: Panasonic DMC-GH2 & Canon 550D compared

I shot some footage with the Canon 550D and the Panasonic GH2 using several different lenses from my recently purchased prime lens collection. Tomorrow I will post my findings in the form of a short video on the blog. For starter's here's a frame from both camera's.

Best budget LCD viewfinder?

I've not been very satisfied with my viewfinder for my 550D/T2i, mainly because it keeps falling off the metal frame. And the metal frame itself also fell off, but maybe I should have let it dry longer before I first used it. Still, the loop clicking onto the frame by way of magnets is not a very solid solution.
But this little guy seems to have covered it right. The viewfinder is held in place by a click-system, it is a screenprotector, 3 x magnification, diopter adjustment, flip the viewfinder up for normal view (but with sunshade) and what seems to be allround good build quality. Shipped home for US $65,- Nice.
