What's in a tiny patch?

On the other hand, if it didn't up the gain, focus would be tough in those conditions. But in daylight, you are right...it's a bokeh previewer. :)
 
I've read that in Japan, consumers have come to expect DSLRs to have the pseudo hump.

yessir

And so we have a new system with a new lens mount and this, the G1; the world's first electronic viewfinder interchangeable lens camera. From the outside it looks for all the world like a conventional SLR (albeit a very small one) - we're told that the design (complete with faux prism 'hump') is deliberately conservative; Panasonic's research has shown that its target market (particularly in Japan) still prefers a camera that looks like a camera is supposed to, and wasn't going to risk falling at the first hurdle by producing something too radical.

personally i think it's lame that Pana will include video functionality in a later model
