Mirrorless, not for the middle aged

Sep 17, 2010

Mirrorless DSL seems to be the future. There is only one problem. Older people, let say from the age of 45, need glasses for reading. I myself, I can not read the buttons without glasses. Making photos with a camera and putting the glasses on and from my nose is a real problem. I really like the traditional viewfinder. I can see all essentials of my camera without using my glasses. And the butons, I can feel them. Its really fine taking pictures by only using the viewfinder. My camera has a LCD screen, but I hardly use it. I can not see anything without my glasses.

If Olympus is betting on mirrorless cameras, they will lose the older people as customer. And middle aged people have a lot of money to spend. I can not believe that Olympus want to lose this market.
