I was given a Sony camera to take photos at an event recently.
After two days, I noticed that the viewfinder would be dark when I turned the camera off. This was different than my usual Canon, so I wondered why.
Turns out it was a mirrorless camera, where the viewfinder is a screen. And I didn't notice that I was looking at a screen the whole time.
Edit: this was a Sony Alpha 7c. I really enjoyed using it. It's comfortably small and has the silver retro design of something from the 1930s.
- LegitShady 5y agothe problem is the success of the viewfinder varies between models, whereas most DSLR viewfinders were decent to good by nature of the SLR system.
- alessioalex 5y agoIt's the smallest (usable) full frame camera from Sony (there's another smallrer one from Sigms but it doesn't have a viewfinder). Its weight is 509g / 1.1 lb, has the same sensor as the Sony Alpha 7III and better autofocus (tracks humans as well as animals with eye detection - for photo and video). I recently bought it and like it very much.
