Here’s the thing. Yes, you’re giving up battery life with the EVF. However, you’re also giving up all the other new advances manufacturers are shoving into newer mirror less cameras. Eye tracking auto focus, great low light performance, next gen lenses, etc. I too was very anti EVF until I used one last year. In the end, the visual performance fears didn’t show up, the battery life can be dealt with, and the benefits of the Canon R5 were just too much.
