> The optical viewfinder is the main negative of the SLR I'm going to have to disagree with you there. A 0 latency view of exactly what your composition will look like is what I need. > It often doesn't give a great representation of the actual digital image In auto modes your camera is clever enough to take a "good" exposure. In manual mode you should know how to expose a photo properly. > requires bulk for the mirror The mirror is a small part of the weight / size of a camera. The main disadvantage of an SLR always has been and always will be the flange focal distance. > the mirror itself is loud and doesn't permit using the viewfinder while taking video. Agreed > you can't overlay nearly asuch information on the viewfinder. Good! I want less information in my way, not more. > The battery life problem is being solved. Maybe, but the reality is still that even the A7 III has only half the battery life of a comparable DSLR. That is a problem for heavy shooting.
