Sure...which you only get on an LCD. IMO the only dealbreakers with EVFs are refresh rate, battery consumption and color gamut. If I were a camera maker, I would not be banking on any of those not being solved problems in the next five years.
- foldr 10y agoI think it's pretty optimistic to think that the battery life issues will be solved in the next five years. It doesn't look like we're going to be getting significantly more energy dense batteries or lower energy display technologies in that timeframe. (Not in consumer products, anyway.)
- mikeyouse 10y agoOn the launch live stream, one of the commentators said that he used the a9 all day, took 2,200 pictures with autofocus, and still had 40% battery life remaining -- This is approaching 'solved' for the majority of camera users. I've got an older mirrorless with a subpar battery so I'm definitely sympathetic to the issues but anything over a few thousand pictures is good enough.
- dkrich 10y agoI don't think battery use is a real important issue simply because the cost of batteries is so low. I was able to buy two extras for my a6000 for about $19.
