1. You see exposure before you shoot. Beginners can do full manual from day one.

Formatting went away but this is laughable. You can only use manual mode if you know how to use manual mode. I've heard of people saying "I under use M mode, photos always turn out dark when I do". You have to know to move the shot settings around in manual mode.

1. You can review photos accurately.

Not sure how photo review is related to an EVF. You can accurately review photos with the screen on a dSLR.
