From time to time I get e-mail from people who aren't understanding the appeal the EVFs (electronic viewfinders). I wrote the article above for Michael Johnton's the online photographer. I think the fun thing about the article is all the commentary following it.
If you don't know Michael's blog.....you should.

EVF's are amazing. I really can't to see how good they are two years from now. I just hate them when using strobes and cameras with EVF's tend to have crappy battery life.
ReplyDeleteI love EVF's, except for that variable lag thing. I have enough trouble capturing the moment without thinking about how far ahead to hit the shutter release, depending on the lighting conditions. If I shot more under more varied light, it would probably become second nature, but I don't see that changing any time soon. Granted that EVF's are better now than when I went back to an OVF three years ago, but I'm still going to sit out another generation or two before I jump back in.
ReplyDeleteI saw the EVF on Sony's new full frame at CES. It was pretty amazing in terms of quality. My friend didn't even realize it was an EVF, until I pointed it out. The only bummer is the full frame is pretty heavy.
ReplyDeleteThe Sony a99 is the lightest professional, full frame camera on the market... The lack of a pentaprism helps a lot.
